Sanctify
Romans 7
Woke up choked up, looked in the mirror,
All I see is me—my hate and my fear
I know I shouldn’t be here
The old me should disappear
I’ve been saved for six year!
I’m supposed to change, Rearrange,
But it’s strange
I’m still Robyn and I’m robbin’ my God of His glory
And I’m sorry!
But I just can’t change my story
Trusting myself, God on the shelf,
I gotta turn, self, I should spurn
Nothing I have was earned
Hell, I deserved, my flesh, I served
Wrath was reserved
But Jesus drank that cup
Bore our sin, was lifted up
Jesus, give me grace,
To seek your face,
To run this race,
To match your pace
I was born in sin
But He loved me within
Saw His work begin
Salvation’s day, He made a way
My debt to pay—what can I say?
I never sought Him, I only fought Him
But I was brought in, Bought in,
He killed me dead so I could rise
Seeing Him with brand new eyes
Raised to life, I’m seeking death
Denying Him who gave me breath
What’s wrong with me?
He set me free, He died for me
But I can’t see the victory.
I’m supposed to look like You
I read that in Philippians 2
I am a new creation, by His salvation
Predestination, regeneration
Don’t let me stall the transformation
If You need to break me, go ahead
I know that I’d be better dead
Than living with this obsession
For possessions, and transgression
Listen, Lord, to my confession
I’m caught in sinful regression
I’ve been living like the world
Like I never heard the Word
Newly set free, craving my chains
Newly healed and wanting pains
Chasing anything but You,
Though I know that You are true
I excuse the dirt I do
By pointing at what I’ve been through
How could I forget the cross,
Forget the loss, forget the cost?
You never sinned despite the pain
That You bore for sinner’s gain
Give to me a mind like Christ
To not think twice about the price
Of living as a sacrifice.
To die is gain, to live is Christ
It’s not YOLO, we all live twice
I cannot waste this transient life
All I need is that “Well done”
Given by God’s holy Son
Nothing on earth is worth my soul
'Cause no one else can make me whole
I’ll live for Him who died for me,
Know victory eternally
And if it means Robyn must die,
I will not cry, for Robyn lies
To trade this selfish, lustful heart
For one made pure by heaven’s art
If that is death, then let me die
From shame and cross, let me not shy
Let me my old nature shed
And truly be the living dead.
Alive to God and dead to me
That will be true liberty.
