New Christ I’m gaining every day,
Still groaning through this world of strife
I want to live a God-man life!
Of God-man life; You’re all I need.
In all my heart, I give You ground.
Lord, may Your life in me abound!
On hardened ground, in the world’s way.
Satan no more shall steal Your Word,
I’ll move my heart where You are heard!
From hidden sins, I would be free.
My heart I would clear up through prayer,
I’ll gain more depth to root You there!
The life seed soon they’ll overtake.
Riches, anxiety reject,
Just for God’s growth the ground protect!
So persecution we will know.
When it seems more than we can bear,
Lord, help us drink You deeply there!
Until Your Body comes in sight.
Yourself in man will then be shown;
Your plan at last by all be known!
