Lyrics
EIGHT ROMANS WORDS & MUSIC BY TOM ZOVAR 2003 ASCAP 1657084
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ,
For the law of the Spirit of Life in Jesus has set you free, Oh yes.
For what the law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh,
God did sending his own son in the likeness of sinful flesh, Oh yes.
Chorus:
Jesus, my old life's over
Slept in fields of deeper clover, and I know that I am older,
than the times that were before,
And I'm so glad to have you near me now.(2x)
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the world,
but those who live according to the Spirit set their mind on the things of God,Oh yes.
For the mind set on the flesh is everlasting death,
But the mind set on the Spirit is surely life and peace, Oh yes
Chorus: & harmonica / guitar bridge
But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you,
He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies.
For you have not received a spirit of slavery or fear,
but you have received a Spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out.
Chorus melody with these words:
Aha, abba Father, the Spirit Himself bears witness with our own spirit,
that we are the children of God.
And the Spirit and the bride say come, and let the one who hears say come,
even so Lord Jesus come.(2x)
