The Old Man Is Dead
(Philippians 3, Galatians 2)
Words & Music by Jason C. Hackwith
I have lost all things
To gain the all-surpassing greatness of knowing Him
Jesus, my Prince of Peace
Healer of hearts, Holy bearer of the burden of my sin
It is my intention
Chorus:
To know Christ
And His resurrection power
Start a brand new life
Begin again this very hour
Let me forget what lies behind
As I strain to gain the prize that lies ahead
For I have been crucified with Christ
And the old man is dead
Bury him, let him die
Till the last piece of my past is gone
Take me and make me Your child
As I offer up this sacrifice of song
Walk with me as I move ahead
Let my life become a sacrifice of praise
Baptize me, let the old man be dead
Let my new life in Christ be raised!
[Instrumental Chorus]
[Repeat Chorus]
