How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Romans 6:2-4 kjv
Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
Colossians 2:12 kjv
Buried with Christ, and raised with Him, too,
What is there left for me to do?
Simply to cease from struggling and strife,
Simply to walk in newness of life.
Chorus:
Buried with Christ and dead unto sin;
Dying but living, Jesus within;
Ruling and reigning day after day,
Guiding and keeping all of the way.
Risen with Christ, my glorious Head,
Holiness now the pathway I tread;
Beautiful thought from walking therein,
He that is dead is freed from all sin.
Living with Christ, Who dieth no more!
Following Christ, Who goeth before!
I am from bondage utterly freed,
Reckoning self as dead indeed!
Living for Christ, my members I yield,
Servants for Christ, forevermore sealed;
Not under law, I’m now under grace;
Sin is dethroned, and Christ takes its place!
Growing in Christ; no more shall be named
Things of which now I'm truly ashamed.
Fruit unto holiness will I bear,
Life evermore, the end I shall share.
