Reading Time: < 1 minuteA Glimpse
I catch a glimpse of who I was —
who I used to be.
A stranger now, but still so close,
lurks inside of me.
The invisible God is changing me
into someone new.
When He began I cannot say;
I only know it’s true.
The stranger inside — my sinful self —
desires to rise again.
To her I must not cede control,
to live now as back then.
By the law I was condemned,
now in Christ stand free.
This new creation God has made
is all I desire to be.
Like a gentle comforter,
He gives me life anew.
His Spirit helps to live each day
obedient and true.
