I once was trapped
In the mire of sin
Christ was a propitiation
The old me
Was totally depraved
I was in darkness enslaved
But Christ set
The captives free
He did it for me
In Christ we are a new creation
United with God in one accord
Our image of God restored
Being born again, the Holy Spirit
Quickens our soul instantly
We’re regenerated immediately
Next comes justification
By faith alone
It’s possible because Christ did atone
Now I work on mortifying the sinful flesh
Sanctification is a lifelong pursuit
At times this process is painfully acute
