Our old man has been crucified with Christ

Our old man has been crucified with Christ;

Yes

all we are in oldness He sufficed

To bring to naught upon the cross that He

Himself as our new Husband fully be

Enjoyed by us.

Yes

all our strength of independence died

For we with Christ were fully crucified.

Now we’re so glad to be His proper wife

Dependently enjoying Him as life

Forevermore.

Our dying was not such a sad affair

The new man was rejoicing to be there;

The old man dead and buried

we were free

To marry Christ

and live eternally

His wife

fore’er.

Now as the new

regenerated man

We do two things

according to God’s plan:

Bear fruit to God and serve in spirit new

So God becomes the fruit of all we do

And all we are.

There are three laws in Romans seven

see—

The law of God; the mind

the good old me;

The sinful law indwelling bodily;

Yet from these all the Lord has set us free

To live by Him.

In Romans eight the law of Spirit is

Where we’re in Christ

and we are fully His

The law of life has set us wholly free

And Christ becomes our life eternally

Hallelujah!
