Given the Mind of Christ
” 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Phil 3:18-19 NIV
By the power of the Holy Spirit,
I am Given the Mind of Christ my Lord.
I take every thought captive,
When sanctified by God’s word.
My thoughts are governed by God’s Kingdom,
And provide obedience to His will.
I am set apart from the world’s system,
Given peace of mind that’s still.
When transformed into the mind of Christ
I do those good works God predestined.
Stripped of my former nature,
I am by the Holy Spirit governed.
The lusts and desires of illusion
Must now pass away.
I see the world through different glasses
And possess a desire to obey.
I delight in God’s great mercy,
That’s provided fresh each day.
Should I be separated from His Spirit,
I fall along the way.
I’m dependent upon the Holy Spirit
For every step I take.
On my own I can only falter
And heave, I’d simply never make.
May the mind of Christ dwell in me
And my mind be fully renewed.
May I be set apart attitudinally
To be morally and ethically viewed.
It is the perfect will of God
That my mind be transformed;
The mind of Christ renewed in me;
New heights of glory each day dawned.
