New Man



"Let there be light",
All-mighty God said,
day separated from night,
sun, moon, stars He made.

Jesus, the true light came,
to shine in man's heart,
to all who believed on his name,
he gave a new start.

The image and likeness of God,
the new man is hidden in Christ,
prosperity, power and health,
a heritage won with high price.

Life, truth,  love
heal sickness, destroy sin and death,
God's man, pure, perfect, whole
walks on the straight, narrow path.

As  living stone, he rises to build,
as torch, he burns in God's fire,
Knowing and doing His will
is man's utmost, sole desire.
