1  All I have in Adam is but sin and death,

    I in Christ inherit life and righteousness;

    When in flesh abiding, Adam I express,

    But when in the spirit Christ is manifest.

 2  When I am in Adam, though I may not sin,

    Unto death, a sinner, sentenced I have been;

    When in Christ I need not righteously to act,

    I'm already righteous, justified in fact.

 3  In the flesh I need no effort to express

    Marks of Adam's nature and its sinfulness;

    In the spirit I need not to strive or strain,

    I can live as He is and in spirit reign.

 4  Thru my death with Christ, from Adam I am free,

    Thru my life with Christ, new life is given me!

    Minding not the flesh, old Adam cannot move,

    Minding just the spirit, life divine I prove.

 5  Minding just the spirit is God's saving way,

    Minding just the spirit, Christ we will display;

    Minding just the spirit, we can overcome,

    Minding just the spirit, we the race may run.

 6  Minding just the spirit, we the cross will know,

    And His resurrection pow'r thru us will flow;

    Minding just the spirit, Christ will live thru me,

    And His life within will reach maturity.

 7  In the spirit Christ is life and all to me,

    Strengthening and blessing all-inclusively;

    Living in the spirit, holiness I prove,

    And the triune God within my heart doth move.
