Living a Crucified Life

 

       D              A             G        A

1.      We are pressed on every side

D            C                       G   D

But not quite without a way out

D                     B7    Em   D

Oppressed, but not deserted,

D                      A            D

Cast down, but not destroyed.

 

Chorus 1

G                                   D

Oh! We have a great treasure,

G                                 D

A power of infinite measure,

G               A           D     Bm

That is of God and not of us.

G        A   G        A        D

Glorious, resurrection power.

 

2.      Bearin’ Christ’s death, in our body,

So that Christ’s life is in us too.

So death operates in us,

But life operates in you.

(Chorus 1)

 

3.      We know that He who raised Christ,

Will also raise us now with Him,

And he will make us stand too,

Before Him, we all with you.

(Chorus 1)

 

4.      O Lord our light afflictions,

Clearly work out for us today,

More and more surpassingly,

Eternal weight of glory.

 

Chorus 2

So Lord, we don’t lose heart,

Though our outer man is dying,

Our inner man is renewing,

Day by day, more and more, growing!

 

5.      Things seen, we have no regard,

Only for things that are unseen,

The seen things are temporal,

The unseen are eternal.

(Chorus 2)
