Lyrics

If we've been united with him in a death like his, 
We'll certainly be united with a resurrection
Like his.
For we know that our old self was crucified 
So that our body that's ruled by sin might die
Might die.

That we should no longer be slaves to sin— 
Because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we
Will also live with Christ, for we know since He was
Was raised.
Yes, He was raised from the dead, can't die again;
And death no longer has mastery over him. 
And so

The death that he died, he died to sin
For once and for all; but the life that he lives,
He lives to God.

Chorus
In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin
But alive to God in Jesus.
In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin
But alive to God in Jesus.

Therefore don't let sin reign within, in your mortal body
So that you will obey its evil desires,
Desires.
Do not offer any part of yourself to sin
As an instrument of wickedness,
Instead

Offer yourselves to God as those
Brought from death to life; every part of yourself
To him
As an instrument of righteousness.

Chorus
In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin
But alive to God in Jesus.
In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin
But alive to God in Jesus.
In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin
But alive to God in Jesus.
In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin
But alive to God in Jesus.

Biography

I've been making music and writing songs since I was old enough to reach the piano. I now am a multi-instrumentalist and arranger, with experience arranging for every size of group: from small bands to orchestras.

Married in 1994, I began taking jobs as a worship pastor, arranging and directing bands for contemporary and "seeker-targeted" churches in Saskatoon, New Jersey, Kingston, and Hamilton. I currently lead worship at Harrowsmith Free Methodist Church in Harrowsmith, Ontario.

While serving as a contemporary church planter and music director for an Anglican congregation, I began putting liturgy and scripture to music in 2012... [more]
