We put off our old sinful way
We put on what is right
Renew our minds from day to day
Walk with Him in the light
We must put off all bitterness
All wrath and all anger
Ev-er-y form of all malice
All clamor and slander
And in their place put on kindness
With hearts of tenderness
Offer each other forgiveness
As our God forgives us
(To the tune of “O God Our Help In Ages Past”)
We put off our old sinful way
We put on what is right
Renew our minds from day to day
Walk with Him in the light
O God may we put off stealing
And work that we might give
Speak grace-filled words that bring healing
A giving life now live
Beware of grieving God’s Spirit
In what we do or say
And live a giving life that’s fit
For that redemptive day
And when we fail – we will repent
Our sin we will confess
Look to our Savior who was sent
To grant us forgiveness
(To the tune of “O God Our Help In Ages Past”)
We put off our old sinful way
We put on what is right
Renew our minds from day to day
Walk with Him in the light
And in our anger we won’t sin
To anger we won’t hold
Won’t give Satan a chance to win
By grace we’ll fight – be bold
And when we fail – we will repent
Our sin we will confess
Look to our Savior who was sent
To grant us forgiveness
(To the tune of “O God Our Help In Ages Past”)
We put off our old sinful way
We put on what is right
Renew our minds from day to day
Walk with Him in the light
We put off lies and all that’s false
Now truth is what we speak
For truth is beating in our pulse
The Body’s good we seek
And when we fail – we will repent
Our sin we will confess
Look to our Savior who was sent
To grant us forgiveness
(To the tune of “O God Our Help In Ages Past”)
New life with God we have been taught
Of Jesus we have heard
To draw near to Him we have sought
To know Him through His Word
We put off our old sinful way
We put on what is right
Renew our minds from day to day
Walk with Him in the light
(To the tune of “O God Our Help In Ages Past”)
Life without God – futility
With minds that are darkened
Blind to the truth they cannot see
With hearts that are hardened
Given to sensuality
Living out wrong desire
Greedy for all impurity
Wallowing in the mire
And so we were lost in our sins
All going our own way
But now in Christ new life begins
So walk with Him today
Beware of sin – against it fight
Don’t walk in those dark ways
Our Lord has brought us to the light
To Him belongs our praise
(To the tune of “O God Our Help In Ages Past”)
Now tell the truth with loving speech
To build up the Body
Speak the gospel in love to reach
The world for His glory
One another now serve in love
Enabled by Jesus
That we might be like Christ above
The Head of all of us
In truth and love now let us grow
And into Christ our Lord
Draw near to Him – His love to know
His grace to us out-poured
(To the tune of “O For A Thousand Tongues To Sing”)
The Christian faith we must all know
Of Jesus we must learn
And in God’s Word we must all grow
The truth to now discern
So know the truth and in it live
Together – all of us
To God our full allegiance give
Become more like Jesus
So know the truth and in it stand
Against the devil’s lies
Deceptions blow across our land
God calls us to be wise
(To the tune of “O For A Thousand Tongues To Sing”)
Our Lord descends for you and me
Consider His great love
Ascends again in victory
Praise Him who reigns above
God gave the church His Holy Word
And those who will proclaim
So that each one with hearts now stirred
Would live for His great name
Our God to each a gift imparts
To build up Christ’s Body
And as we all now do our part
We’ll grow strong and healthy
(To the tune of “O For A Thousand Tongues To Sing”)
Our Lord descends for you and me, Consider His great love
Ascends again in victory, Praise Him who reigns above
Our Lord has conquered ev’ry foe, His courage now receive
These things foreshadowed long ago, So that we might believe
Our Lord gives gifts unto His own, For our maturity
So let us serve by grace alone, Our Lord and His Body
(To the tune of “O For A Thousand Tongues To Sing”)
