My old man has been crucified with Him

My old man has been crucified with Him, With all its foul corruption deep within; And buried too its nature serpentine, Completely finished—this great fact is mine, I hold it fast. |

But there’s a Person in my spirit now, Born as a babe so small, so weak, so low; Who by the Word’s pure milk will grow to be The overcoming inner man in me To gain my heart. |

Christ as my Person must possess my heart And be preeminent in every part. The former owner died but haunts it still. O Lord, move in; my mind, emotion, will Now welcome Thee. |

In spirit mingled, we are one, O Lord, The human and divine in one accord; Yet Thou must have a proper faculty That all Thy glorious personality May be expressed. |

So, Lord, I give my heart to Thee today, That it may be Thy home in every way, A place for Thee to come and settle down, And all Thy grand recovery work to crown In one new man. |
