Mortification Lyrics


Crucify my flesh

This is mortification

A rejection of the filth that I once loved

This is purification

Holy Spirit give me strength to sin no more

Lord, let my words be your words

Let my thoughts be your thoughts

In those years of darkness

I grew to love the things that you despise

I watched myself become

Everything I hated when I was young

Take everything

My lustful eyes, my prideful heart

Lord wash me clean

Infuse me with Your grace

I feel so weak

The weight of the guilt brings me to my knees

My King, My God

May I never again bring you shame

I offer up my suffering

To the one who paid the ultimate price

My sinful flesh wages war against my spirit

Increase my faith

I offer up my suffering

In the presence of the angels and saints

May I be a living sacrifice

Thy will be done

Crucify my flesh

This is mortification

A rejection of the filth that I once loved

This is purification

Holy Spirit give me grace to sin no more

This is mortification

A subjugation of my will to Yours, O Lord

This is sanctification

Son of God give me grace

Thy will be done!
