I Died with Jesus

I died with Jesus
And with Him was buried;
Yet raised from the dead,
With a new life to live.

In the waters I felt
Him wash my body;
The death He died
He died for my sin.

I was crucified,
Yet freed from my old body;
Together with Christ in burial,
United in resurrection.

Jesus Christ died for me,
And now I live for Him;
To Heaven He ascended
My place to prepare.

His throne of grace
My hope and salvation;
His great power in me
Incomparable to the world.

The new life I have
Is a life lived by Jesus;
At the right hand of God,
He directs my path.

I am dead to sin
But alive to God in Christ;
Possessing the glorious hope
With Jesus in eternal life.
