O Love that wilt not let me go, I rest my weary soul in thee; I give thee back the life I owe, That in thine ocean depths its flow May richer, fuller be. O light that foll’west all my way, I yield my flick’ring torch to thee; My heart restores its borrowed ray, That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day May brighter, fairer be. O Joy that seekest me through pain, I cannot close my heart to thee; I trace the rainbow through the rain, And feel the promise is not vain, That morn shall tearless be. O Cross that liftest up my head, I dare not ask to fly from thee; I lay in dust life’s glory dead, And from the ground there blossoms red Life that shall endless be. George Matheson, 1882.  -His Daughter . 

I am crucified with Christ Therefore I no longer live Jesus Christ now lives in me Embrace the cross Where Jesus suffered Though it will cost All you claim as yours Your sacrifice will seem small Beside the treasure Eternity can't measure What Jesus holds in store Embrace the love The cross requires Cling to the one Whose heart knew every pain Receive from Jesus Fountains of compassion Only He can fashion Your heart to move as His Oh, wondrous cross our desires rest in you Lord Jesus make us bolder To face with courage the shame and disgrace You bore upon Your shoulder Embrace the life That comes from dying Come trace the steps The Savior walked for you An empty tomb Concludes Golgotha's sorrow Endure then till tomorrow Your cross of suffering Embrace the cross Embrace the cross The cross of Jesus

My flesh will never stop liking sin, because it is it's nature. It comes natural to the old me to sin.  But my spirit is ready to live a life that honors my Father. It is it's nature. It comes natural to the new creation in Christ to obey God. So I choose to walk and live in the Spirit and give no place to the flesh. Not by might or strength or human power or human disposition, plans, and discipline, but by Your Spirit Lord, who strengthens me. -His Daughter
