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.
