I Have Died

Too many times I have died
Allowing a carnal mind to abide
“To be carnal minded is death”
Down the path that is wide in breadth

Dwelling on my anger and pride
That is how and why I have died
Our Lord showed me how to make it cease
To be Spirit minded is life and peace

On my knees to weep and pray
Forgive me, Lord, for going astray
Complaining against men of this world
At you my complaints were hurled

Engaged in battle in the Spirit realm
To You, O God, I give over the helm
Steer me from my enemies touch
I need You, Lord, oh so very much

Forgive me for being quick to judge
And remove from my heart this grudge
For the flesh had attempted a coup
But I am yielding my spirit to You.

Thank you for loving me so deep
It is so wonderful for joy I must weep
You delivered me from this attack
Restoring me top to bottom, front to back
