Dwelling in Christ

You have been raised to life with Christ,
No longer will you be enticed;
By things that are found on this earth,
Since you have been given rebirth.

Because now you got a new start,
Having Heaven within your heart;
Where the rules of Christ you abide,
Who is sitting on God's right side.

Christ gives a new meaning to life,
That is helping you cope with strife;
And any time when He appears.
He will be chasing out the fears.

You will also appear with Him,
In His glory when things look grim;
Since He died He is in control,
Deep within of your very soul.

Let the Word of Christ dwell within,
That is leaving no place for sin;
As His wisdom fills you with delight,
Never do wrong rather what is right.
