The words are from the Book of Romans. This passage has been very powerful in my life and wanted to share with people who might not ever hear these words unless put to this kind of music.
This passage is one of the most richly condensed pieces of scripture. This passage is talking about the hope Christians have in Christ and how we ought to live in light of that.
lyrics
Romans 8:1-11
There is therefore now no condemnation
For those who are in Christ Jesus
For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus
From the law of sin and death
For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do
By sending His only Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin,
He condemned sin in the flesh,
In order that the righteous requirement
Of the law might be fulfilled
In us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh,
But those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit
For to set the mind on the flesh is death,
But to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace
For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God,
For it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot
Those who are in the flesh cannot please God
You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit,
If fact the Spirit of God dwells in you
Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Him But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin,
The Spirit is life because of righteousness
If the Spirit of Him who raised God from the dead dwells in you,
He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also
Give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
