Christ in Me
No lung for breath or beat of heart, no end of days or earthly start
Eternal sight without the eye, without ear hears heartache’s sigh
No shoulders tho’ your burdens bear, without back the weight is shared
No weapon seen fear is expelled, without hand my hand is held
Prints to follow yet no feet, down the straight and narrow street
Whispered guidance without lips, truth your troubles will eclipse
Heed the voice that makes no sound, quietly the truth expound
By myself I’m not alone, my help is not of flesh and bone
Before He came as humble man, to fulfill the master plan
He was of spirit not of earth, then took on flesh of little worth
This flesh was feeble frail and weak, with spirit seen as mild and meek
He did increase in loving favor, born to become both Lord and Saviour
He lived a life of great example, the woes of flesh He fully sampled
All He did just so that He, could span the gap for you and me
Held to the cross by love he bore, my sin to pardon ever more
Nails they drove through precious feet, and hands who’s works were now complete
Forgive them! Rang His voice so true, Father they know not what they do
He loudly cried then breathed his last, His earthly walk now in the past
It’s staggering all that He gave, before they laid Him in the grave
Born in a stable for lack of room, then buried in a borrowed tomb
He rose to conquer hell and grave, He did it all your soul to save
On His new body scars you’ll find, of sacrifice it will remind
The scars are proof He died for me, an act of love that had to be
To live a life for all to see, the Son of God……. It’s Christ in me.
