The Gospel Awakening ‎#167

167. Buried With Christ

1. Buried with Christ and raised with Him, too,
What is there left for me to do?
Simply to cease from struggling and strife,
Simply to walk in newness of life.

Chorus:
Buried with Christ and dead unto sin,
Jesus Himself abideth within.
Living in Christ and free from all strife,
Resting in Him, my strength and my life.

2. Risen with Christ, my glorious Head,
Holiness now the pathway I tread;
Beautiful thought, while walking therein,
He that is dead is freed from sin. [Chorus]

3. Living with Christ, who dieth no more,
Following Christ, who goeth before,
I am from bondage utterly freed,
Reckoning self as dead indeed. [Chorus]

4. Living for Christ, my members I yield
Servants of God, forevermore sealed;
Not under law, I'm now under grace,
Sin is dethroned and Christ takes its place. [Chorus]
