All I have in Adam is but sin and death

All I have in Adam is but sin and death

I in Christ inherit life and righteousness;

When in flesh abiding

Adam I express

But when in the spirit Christ is manifest.

When I am in Adam

though I may not sin

Unto death

a sinner

sentenced I have been;

When in Christ I need not righteously to act

I’m already righteous

justified in fact.

In the flesh I need no effort to express

Marks of Adam’s nature and its sinfulness;

In the spirit I need not to strive or strain

I can live as He is and in spirit reign.

Thru my death with Christ

from Adam I am free

Thru my life with Christ

new life is given me!

Minding not the flesh

old Adam cannot move

Minding just the spirit

life divine I prove.

Minding just the spirit is God’s saving way

Minding just the spirit

Christ we will display;

Minding just the spirit

we can overcome

Minding just the spirit

we the race may run.

Minding just the spirit

we the cross will know

And His resurrection pow’r thru us will flow;

Minding just the spirit

Christ will live thru me

And His life within will reach maturity.

In the spirit Christ is life and all to me

Strengthening and blessing all-inclusively;

Living in the spirit

holiness I prove

And the triune God within my heart doth move.
