Shed the Carnal - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Abandon your old ways
the things of the flesh
shed the carnal
focus on Christ instead

We are made new
of the spirit now are we
rising with Christ to glory
we wait for his return

In the walk here below
reject that which is from the earth
focus instead on the things of heaven
and preach his message of love
