We take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
(2 Corinthians 10:5; NIV).
1. May I share each thought with you,
Until we’re of one mind;
2. May my speech become like yours:
Patient; honest; kind;
3. May my deeds be full of love, like yours,
Till we are one,
4. Then it will be no longer I who lives,
But you, God’s only Son.
✝️
It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.
(Galatians 2:20; NLT).
