Help Me Live for You

Lord, help me crucify the flesh
And let it have no space
To turn my soul away from you
Or block the path of grace.

Remove the pleasures sin affords
That lure from all that’s right,
And change the things that I desire
To seek Your pure delight.

Awake in me a holy thirst
For righteousness and good,
Please help me love the things You love
And do as Jesus would.

Where I’ve left room for fleshly lusts
And worldly things that fade,
Reveal my sin and help me turn
From where my soul has strayed.

Convict and cleanse, renew and bless,
Lord, help me live for You –
Sold out for Christ with no reserves
In love that’s pure and true.

Christina Joy Hommes

And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. Galatians 5:24

Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Hebrews 11:25

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Matthew 5:6

But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. Romans 13:14

That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Ephesians 4:22-24

Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen. Ephesians 6:24
