A Slave To Righteousness

Let's take a look and consider
to be dead without no thought to sin
living a life full of Christ the Lord
following His every step all to cling

Reject unrighteousness out of hand
commit yourself to the Lord of life
who removes death from your heart
so united to overcome all strife

Does that mean we're not under law?
so grace will always be our key
no no! righteousness only can rescue
but where is it for it's gotta be true

Slavery is the way to win this
not to sin for it just brings death
but obedience bringing righteousness
thanks to God for each divine breath

So follow on leave every act of sin
be real slave to righteousness
in obeying God's inerrant word
this road leads you to holiness
