I Am in Christ All I Was Not

I am in Christ, all I was not By Effie Darlene Barba Oh, Father dear, help me to know The truth of who I am In Christ, You did on me bestow All that I need down here below That by my life I then might show Your Spirits flame set bright Aglow By Jesus Christ, the precious lamb That You would take my wretched heart So, broken by my sin And through your Grace you did impart Your righteousness to ne’er depart Because in Christ, a brand-new start That as your child, your dear sweetheart Your spirit dwells within Endowing me with all Your power The same that rose Christ from the dead By Grace through faith, on me did shower The strength to stand firm like a tower And from life’s fears to never cower Because in Christ You did empower Me to walk wherever lead So as in Christ I lean into Abiding in His arms I come to know that which You knew My heart transformed by you It is You alone who’ll see me through Each day by grace my heart renew While learning of Your charms I am Your Blessed, Beloved Child Redeemed by Grace Alone You looked upon my heart so wild Who by this world had been beguiled! Upon this broken one you smiled With Patience, Mercy Oh so mild You chose me as Your own So, Help me Lord to comprehend The depth and breadth of love divine This broken heart, you chose to mend Before the world to then defend That I might find in You a friend Although, my Lord on knee I bend To give you all I thought was mine So, take my heart and use it Lord However, you desire That I might then with one accord Submit my will while marching toward Your presence as my one reward With truth my only sword Your Love my impassioned fire I am in Christ, all I was not Before He called my name For in my sin, I dare not rot As would have been the Devil’s plot For Christ did die, my freedom bought And then by grace my heart He sought How could I ever be the same?
