Since I have been raised up with Christ my Lord,
All things above I am seeking;
Things which can be found where only Christ is,
At God’s right hand interceding.
On things above I am setting my mind,
Things o’er which Christ is presiding;
Not on the temporals of earth below,
Where the mundane things are fleeting.
Since on the cross of Christ I died that Day,
With Christ in God I am hidden;
The earthly part of me I mortify,
By the Spirit’s strength now given.
My new self is being renewed daily
In a knowledge that is true and richer;
As the Spirit impresses God’s image—
In my mind things become clearer.
The peace of Christ guides my every decision,
And gratitude fills my days;
Christ’s own words have found a home in my heart,
All my life is lived to His praise.
