On your knees in desperation fallen on life's road

Lying prostrate - crying- God! pick up my heavy load!

You find yourself now getting up- shaking off the pain

Then you start walking- you find you're on your way again...

 

By faith claim death to sin

Lay claim to Jesus' power

There is no need to cower

From the blows that life can deal

By faith claim death to sin

for the death Christ died at calvary

Is ou promise of the victory

It's power now is real.

 

Every sin that man has sinned through all eternity

Was nailed upon a cruel cross- Christ paid its penalty!

So now the sin you're courting is the reason why He died

You must see the sin you love to sin is why the Lord was crucified!

 

By faith claim death to sin

In God's light you can see your sin

As the source of all the pain you're in

You can nail it to the cross!

By faith claim death to sin

for we are crucified with christ

In his atoning sacrifice

Is paid the final cost!

By faith claim death to sin

Lay claim to Jesus' power

There is no need to cower

From the blows that life can deal

By faith claim death to sin

for the death Christ died at calvary

Is ou promise of the victory

It's power now is real.
