Crucified With Christ
LXXXV
What means that I with Christ be crucified?
With insufficiency the cross I bear?
Or else be yoked together by his side?
And follow in his footstep everywhere?
How may I drive the nails by mine own hand?
Impossible and yet it must be done
So deep a paradox to understand
Myself I put to death live by his Son
Each day I live by faith and not with sight
He gives me grace to overcome my will
To mortify my sad and selfish life
That others find what only God could fill
The power of a life that’s crucified
Is seen when Christ alone be glorified
