I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 

Galatians 2:20 (KJV)

Upon the cross with Christ my soul is bound,
A death to self, yet life in Him I find,
The nails of grace pierce deep, a love profound,
To slay the flesh and free the captive mind.
No longer I, but He within me reigns,
A holy fire burns where sin once stood,
Through veins once cold now flows His warm domains,
A stream of mercy mingled with His blood.
The world recedes, its shadows fade away,
While faith ignites a dawn that never dims,
Each breath I draw sings praises to His day,
Each step a verse in resurrection’s hymns.
So crucified, I rise, no more to roam,
In Christ alive, my heart has found its home.
