062 If Jesus Dwells Within You

If Jesus dwells within you
The Spirit gives you life
And conquers still
The rebel will
The sin that dwells within you
Masters you no more
For you have died
And with new life
You rise with Christ the Lord

If Jesus dwells within you
Then you’re a child of God
And heirs with Him
Who rose again
The sin that so entangles
Cast it all aside
And run the race
Oh, fix your gaze
Upon on risen Christ

“And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, then he who raised Christ from the dead will also bring your mortal bodies to life through his Spirit who lives in you.”
Romans 8:11 CSB

If Jesus dwells within you
Then let your soul rejoice
And trust in Him
The king will win
The sin that’s still abiding
Points us to our need
We need a king
Rejoice and sing
He gives us victory

For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.

However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.

But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
