The Body of Christ


Romans 12:1-5

I make a request to all by the mercy of God,
For giving your body as a living sacrifice;
So pleasing to Him as you honor and laud,
In knowing you are willing to pay the price.

Let your attitude and behavior be from here.
Rather be changed in both heart and mind;
For experiencing the knowledge as sincere,
Being fully righteous as God has outlined.

Do not be conceited only thinking of you,
Rather possessing of a Heavenly wisdom;
A measure of faith from God is true value,
With thoughts centered around His Kingdom.

Since our bodies are made of many parts,
Not all of our parts function the same way;
But to work in unison as each one imparts,
Unto the head in which everyone will obey.

The Body of Christ as a well oiled machine,
Where we are many too in a body of one;
Each one of us must be righteously clean,
Counting on each other to get the job done.
