It's a Good Day to Die

Mind that indulges in worldly pleasures

I am dead to you

Body that distracts from discipline

I am dead to you

Tongue that rattles without the steady breath of wisdom

I am dead to you

Judgement that denies another's dignity

I am dead to you

Selfishness that robs gratitude

I am dead to you

Faithlessness that stifles the freedom of joy

I am dead to you

Pride that scorns humility and service

I am dead to you

Unforgiveness that fetters to pain and bitterness

I am dead to you

Anger that speaks ahead of Love

I am dead to you

I am dead

To what seeks destruction

That I may live, a new creation

Clothed in grace

Renewed in the hope of eternity

Eyes gazing ever at perfect love

His arms outstretched

In perfect sacrifice

Embracing my wretchedness

In perfect redemption

"...count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus."

--Romans 6:11
