1.

Think of this: our old man was so firmly
Nailed to Jesus’ cross on Calvary—
Nailed so firmly, nailed so firmly
To the cross with Christ on Calvary.
(Rom. 6:6)

Chorus:

Thank You, God! It’s done!
Trust it, everyone!
Faith in this gives vict’ry over sin!
Gives me vict’ry, blessed vict’ry,
Over sin in all diversity.
(1 John 5:4)

2.

Think of this, that Jesus took upon Him
Flesh and blood like us here in this world.
Great the myst’ry, great the myst’ry,
Great the myst’ry now to us revealed.
(Rom. 1:3 | Heb. 2:17 | 1 Tim. 3:16 | Eph. 5:31-32)

3.

Think of this: when on the cross they nailed Him,
Then both you and I, we died with Him.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Faith in this will end our shame and sin.
(Rom. 7:4 | Col. 3:3 | 2 Cor. 5:15)

4.

Now I reckon that I’m dead with Jesus,
For His flesh and blood were just as mine.
Root of all sin, root of all sin,
In His flesh was totally condemned.
(Gal. 2:20; 6:14 | Heb. 2:14)

5.

Not the fruit of sin alone bore Jesus,
But the very root of sin, as well—
Crucified it! Crucified it!
So that we in victory can dwell!
(1 Pet. 2:24 | Rom. 6:6 | Heb. 4:15)

6.

Just as sour apples cease from growing
When the sour tree draws no more sap,
In like manner, in like manner
The old Adam’s power, it shall stop!
(Rom. 6:2, 11 | Gal. 2:20 | Eph. 4:22 | Col. 3:9 | 2 Cor. 4:10 | Gal. 5:24)

7.

All your sins can now be put off from you.
In a moment, cast them all away!
Constant vict’ry, constant vict’ry!
For such faith let everyone now pray.
(Col. 3:8 | Jam. 1:21 | 1 Pet. 2:1 | Heb. 12:1 | 2 Cor. 2:14 | 1 Tim. 6:12)
