Where Are These New Creatures -2 Corinthians 5: 17
God has revealed His new creatures
those that are in Christ no less
showing His godly character to be
this is required for your heavenly dress
When one looks upon those ones
that professes to be so very holy
so often carnality is all seen
one must judge looking very slowly
Look circumspectively just to see
where's the evidence of Christ's effect
is there humility, grace and meekness
traits of Jesus but so often just defect
In an age of much God rejection
rationalism and apostacy rules the day
where's the change of lives and morals
little evidence too of man's urge to pray
Paul spoke of a real new change
old things to go everything was new
revival is required to save society
God's powerful effect long overdue
("Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.")
2 Corinthians 5: 17 (KJV)
