Day 22

 

Created to Become Like Christ

 

In your image you created me

But  the fall  shattered all that I could be

But your purposes endure

You have made my purpose sure

And now in your hands I have integrity.

 

All the pieces of the mirror  you’ve replaced

With a new and shining image by your grace

So that I may now reflect

Your glory and expect

To become more like you as I seek your face.

 

Created to become like Christ this is my final goal

Created to become like Christ since He has made me whole

I’ll put away the old man  with His Spirit in control

And put on Christlike character since he has saved my soul.

 

Conformed into His likeness I  fulfill God’s plan

To make a living sacrifice into a holy man.

 

To the praise of His glory

To the praise of His grace!

To the praise of His glory

To the praise of His grace!

To the praise of His glory

To the praise of His grace!

 

Created to become like Christ this is my final goal

Created to become like Christ since He has made me whole

I’ll put away the old man  with His Spirit in control

And put on Christlike character since he has saved my soul.
