1 If we are raised to life with Christ,
no more to creep along the ground,
we fix our minds on things above
where Christ is King at God's right hand.

2 If we are raised to life with Christ
we put to death our fatal greed
and all abuse of hand or brain,
for God will judge each godless deed.

3 If we are raised to life with Christ,
daily renewed in every part,
we join with all who know our God,
one image stamped on every heart.

4 If we are raised to life with Christ
who loved and chose us for his own,
we walk his way, reflect his light,
and share his love which makes us one.
