You are in the Spirit,
For the Lord dwells in you;
A life you inherit,
After this one is due.
Anyone who has not,
Of the Spirit of Christ;
The darkness will be sought,
Letting to be entice.
But if Christ is within,
Though the body is dead;
You will be cleansed of sin,
Righteousness will be fed.
If the Spirit of Him,
Who raised Christ from the dead;
Gives you spiritual vim,
To become bright instead.
For God will give you life,
Through His Spirit that dwells;
Helping to cope through strife,
And eventually dispels.
We are debtors beings,
The lifestyle we live;
And enticed by seeing,
From arousals that give.
By the flesh if you live,
Be expected to die;
God can never forgive,
If professed to deny.
The Spirit puts to death,
Of the body for deeds;
You will live past last breath,
In confessing your weeds.
For all who have been led,
By the Spirit of God;
Cleansed by who had bled,
When we honor and laud.
We are children as heirs,
As fellow heirs with Christ;
An endowment He shares,
With who was sacrificed.
