The Rest of the Gospel: Song of the Week {I live, yet not I...}
/My UNION with Christ...I live, yet not I...Christ with and in and through me. This song brings me to my knees in humble gratitude for this awesome truth: I am not separate! I am not alone, trying to do my best with God's help if I believe hard enough and ask Him correctly.
He and I are ONE! You are ONE with Him too, O believing child of God! Hallelujah!
Let's sing out this truth...
CRUCIFIED with CHRIST
As I look back on what I thought was living I'm amazed at the price I chose to pay And to think I ignored what really mattered Cause I thought the sacrifice would be too great But when I finally reached the point of giving in I found the cross was calling even then And even though it took dying to survive I've never felt so much alive.
CHORUS:
For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live Not I but Christ that lives within me His Cross will never ask for more than I can give For its not my strength but His There's no greater sacrifice For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live
As I hear the Savior call for daily dying I will bow beneath the weight of Calvary Let my hands surrender to His piercing purpose That holds me to the cross but sets me free I will glory in the power of the cross The things I thought were gain I count as loss And with His suffering I identify And by His resurrection power I am alive
And I will offer all I have So that His cross is not in vain For I found to live is Christ And to die is truly gain
