Out by the Roots

If you are in Christ learn not to resist

He 's made you like nothing else that exists

He has made you what you were not

What you could never be

Renew your mind and you will find

God's will for your eternity

Out by the roots- all those old substitutes

Those old programs from the day that you were born

By the power of the Spirit they can be torn

Out by the roots

Tear them out by the roots!

You can think god's thoughts by reading His word.

The word renews the mind when it is heard

The Spirit establishes new patterns for your thoughts

A new point of view- God's perspective in You

A new mind seeking to be taught!

Out by the roots- all those old substitutes

Those old programs from the day that you were born

By the power of the Spirit they can be torn

Out by the roots

Tear them out by the roots!

Set your mind on things above

So God can teach you how to love

Keep us cleansed and make us pure

In the Spirit we can be sure

Out by the roots- all those old substitutes

Those old programs from the day that you were born

By the power of the Spirit they can be torn

Out by the roots

Tear them out by the roots!
