By The Power Of Christ Living In You


By the power of Christ
living in you,
you can live life
in a whole new way;
If your flesh will surrender,
and your heart becomes tender,
and His will sets the
course for each day.

You can love other people
in a supernatural way,
even people whom you
find "hard to love."
Because the love of the Master
will pour out through you,
like a current flowing
down from above.

You can forgive other people,
even those who aren't sorry,
because you know He
has fully forgiven you.
And the knowledge of the debt
He took off your shoulders,
becomes woven
into all things you do.

You can survive trials
and not be destroyed,
even when the purpose
is not understood.
Because Christ walking with you
is the one key component,
that makes everything
work out for good.

You can give yourself freely
in service to others,
whether it's financial,
or a gift of your time.
Because you can wake each day,
knowing Christ gives you all things
and fills you by a plan so divine.

You can live in a world
that tries to defeat you,
yet win, because you
know what is true.
And you can live victorious,
with a heart full of hope
by the power of Christ living in you.
