Crucify Me


Written on May 7, 2000. This song is about the need we have to die to our own flesh and be resurrected into new life. The battle of flesh against spirit is often a difficult one, and I have to continuously ask God to help me put my flesh to death.


My flesh has a death grip on my soul
Two warring halves make up my whole
Only when this struggle's over
Can You use me to the fullest
Until all of me is gone
I'm nearly worthless to Your purpose
Your blood must atone me
I can't do it all alone, so please
Put it all to rest
Put an end to this mess
Then raise me again
Pure and forgiven

Chorus:
My sins once crucified You
Now You can crucify me
Put my sinful flesh to death
Put me out of my misery
Because I can't be born again
If my old self has not died
So please crucify me
Then resurrect me to new life

Yes God, bind up my sinful nature
Make me into a brand new creature
Pour me out of myself
And fill me up with You
Banish all my human fears
And use me as You will
Let me love as You loved
Let me cry as You cried
Let me give up my will
Let me die as You died
Then raise me again
Pure and forgiven

Chorus / Musical Bridge / Chorus

So crucify me
And fill me with Your life
