1.

We’re called to belong to Christ’s body on earth,
For this is what God did ordain.
Proud words and fascades in His eyes have no worth.
To seek Him through reas’ning is vain.

Chorus:

We’re Christ’s when in truth we the flesh crucify
And walk in the Spirit with Him—
To all carnal lusts and to sin daily die—
/: We’ll thus to God’s rest enter in. :/

2.

We’ll bear in our body the dying of Christ,
Denying ourselves day by day.
Thus heeding God’s Word, unto bloodshed we’ll fight.
In faith, we’ll be quick to obey.

3.

To walk in the Spirit in word and in deed
Brings forth a new life that’s divine.
For God is a Master; His work will succeed.
Transformed, with His glory we’ll shine.
