I Got My Mind on Christ

There are good things that I want to do,

but don't always do them,

and there are sinful things I want to avoid,

But constantly I join in.

It is not me doing this action

but this sin within is controlling

For there is nothing good within my flesh

What will save me from this mess?

I do not know why I do what I do

I got my eyes on my goal but I am

always running backwards

I got my eyes on my goal but I am

always running backwards

No one is righteous, none at all

Man has no understanding

We do not even seek out God

in fact all have turned away

murder is a reality of the heart

There is no concept of peace

There is nothing good to come from mans' mouth

Where is the fear of God?

I do not know why I do what I do

I got my eyes on my goal but I am

always running backwards

I got my eyes on my goal but I am

always running backwards

Christ, in the likeness of our sinful flesh

condemned sin in the flesh

now the right requirement of the law

is fulfilled by those who walk

by the Spirit but not the sinful flesh.

 I am now being transformed

by the renewing of my mind

So I can know the will of God.

Now I know why I do what I do

I got my mind on Christ and I

Grow in His likeness

I got my mind on Christ and I

Grow in His likeness
