But be transformed by the renewing of the mind
That you may prove what the will of God is,
That which is good and well pleasing and perfect;
Prove what the will of God is,
That which is good and well pleasing and perfect.

Thank you Lord for a way to sing and enjoy this crucial verse concerning the practice of the Body life. Romans 12:2 is Paul's strong exhortation concerning three items: 1) this age- the composition of all the things in our environment that are not God, including religious as well as secular things.
2) Transformation- which is the inward and metabolic process in which God works to spread His divine nature through every part of our being.
3) The renewing of our mind- which means that a new element is wrought into our being which produces a metabolic transformation making us suitable for the building up of the Body of Christ which is the practice of the church life.
