Because I Live By Faith

"Galatians 2:20 - I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."
                        ~ The Holy Bible

With Christ, I am crucified, 
I live, yet it's not I, 
Christ lives in me, flesh has died, 
I've got faith to live by, 

The Son of God who loved me, 
And for me, gave Himself, 
In Him, I have faith to be, 
To live and kill my 'self', 

I can win over my flesh, 
Because I live by faith, 
His promise extends afresh
When we do as God saith.
