The Real Life

By W. R. Carswell

GAL. 2:20

The life we live is not our own, Self never more can please us; We cast down self from off the throne, And give that throne to Jesus. We give to him the mind and will, And he from bondage frees us, And while we love and trust him still, The One who reigns is Jesus.

COL. 1:27

Would’st thou this wondrous secret learn, It means full consecration, From every sin repentant turn, And ask his full salvation. He will come in and keep from sin, If thou be young or hoary, And thus a new life will begin, ’Tis Christ “the hope of glory.”

2 COR. 4:10, 11

That Christ may daily in us live We lay self on the altar; To him our best affections give, Nor from his guidance falter. Thus walking daily in the light, With him who ever sees us, That life is pleasing in his sight; In mortal flesh—’tis Jesus.

—W. R. Carswell.
