SANCTIFIED BY THE WORD

I was born into a nature
that sin helped to nurture
being proud and forever sure
in comfort that I need no cure

Not until I met a Savior
who revealed a greater glory of color
convicted of my sin, I gave up all
to his majesty I stand in awe
and said how great art thou!

Like a baby in a new state
a new life I believe is fate
I was oppressed in ignorance I faint
to my master I ran, he taught me of faith
and the word to fight

And then the battle began
because I have come to realize I sang
victory is sure, d devil I bang

And finally with the sword
ready to strike with the word
with it the devil I devoured
and now he is void.
