Cast Off

Cast off the veil of flesh,
And walk in new life afresh.
We need to leave it behind,
And have within ourselves a new mind.

Jesus taught us to live,
And we must His message give.
For if we do not cast off the flesh,
Then we cannot live new life afresh.

The world cannot save your soul,
Because they seek to control.
Do not seek that of corruption,
Because it's end is eternal destruction.

Flesh You Must Die

Flesh you must die,
And I must forget the word "I".
Forget the things that please me,
And focus on the things that please Thee.

I have been made to please my Creator,
And I stand before man in life's theater.
I act in love for all I see,
Even though it is difficult for me.

I bid goodbye to my flesh,
And in Christ, my soul refresh.
For if I hold tight to my wants,
When the day is done, it haunts.

If you give what you have away,
You can know Christ today.
Christ spoke to the rich man,
And he said that he would have no part in His plan.

Your life will be more full,
When Christ has been given the rule.
Lay to rest this fleshly container,
He alone can be your Sustainer.
