O Wretched man that I am, who shall deliver
me from the body of this death.
Thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord;
Jesus Christ our Lord.
To the Spirit now we are all in debt.
We don't owe this body that's filled with
death.
You will live, you will live.
If your bodies deeds you will put to death.
O Wretched man that I am, who shall deliver
me from the body of this death.
Thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord;
Jesus Christ our Lord.
Hold your body down; hold your body down;
Never punch as one who just beats the air.
Keep your flesh in control.
Don't punch as one who just beats the air.
O Wretched man that I am, who shall deliver
me from the body of this death.
Thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord;
Jesus Christ our Lord.
If this earthly house must die and dissolve,
There's a House of God that's not built by
man.
Now we groan for that body,
For that house that is not made with hands.
O Wretched man that I am, who shall deliver
me from the body of this death.
Thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord;
Jesus Christ our Lord.
With my mind I find that I serve the Lord,
But my body is still a slave to sin.
Body dead due to sin
But the Spirit's life due to righteousness.
O Wretched man that I am, who shall deliver
me from the body of this death.
Thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord;
Jesus Christ our Lord.
He that raised up Christ from the grave and
death
Shall give life unto your own body too.
If the Lord dwells in you.
If the Spirit dwells in you, you'll live too.
O Wretched man that I am, who shall deliver
me from the body of this death.
Thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord;
Jesus Christ our Lord.
Now Behold I'll show you a mystery.
We shall not all surely, surely die.
We'll be changed--all be changed.
When this mortal puts on immortality.
O Wretched man that I am, who shall deliver
me from the body of this death.
Thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord;
Jesus Christ our Lord.
