Not I but Christ
Tune : Onward Christian Soldiers
( St Gertrude 6.5.6.5 Triple ) With
chorus.
1 Though was lost in sin, Jesus rescued
me,
Death with Him united, not a slave to sin,
Resurrection triumph, brought eternal life,
And on earth His fullness, giving life to
me.
2 My old self is dead, crucified with
Christ,
Delivered me from darkness, into Kingdom
light,
Dead to sin and law, have His life within,
Ever in His likeness, now I reign with Him.
3 Christ Who is my life, now I’m freed
from sin,
As His love possesses, us forevermore,
I can live to God, raised with Christ to heav’,
Sin is done away with,
I’m not slaved to sin.
4 Christ is living in me, now I live in
Him,
As by faith I know Him, life of His is
mine,
Christ is in me always, as His marvellous
gift,
Fullness is my favour, and His
righteousness.
5 I no longer live, my Christ lives in
me,
Now I live by faith, in the Son of God,
Life of Jesus in me, now subdues my flesh,
Victory is now all mine, and my service
His.
Chorus
Not my life but Christ’s, His life now in me,
Christ who is my life, and now I live for Him.
