[Chorus]
O Lord, help me to die each day,
And crucify my fleshly way.
Feed Thou my spirit with Thy Word,
And keep my soul alive, O Lord.
[Verse 1]
Though every man is clothed in clay,
Each bears a different task today.
The spirits differ in their might,
According to their work and light.
[Chorus]
O Lord, help me to die each day,
And crucify my fleshly way.
Feed Thou my spirit with Thy Word,
And keep my soul alive, O Lord.
[Verse 2]
Yet all are flesh beneath the sun,
And by the flesh our course is run.
Since Adam fell through sin and pride,
The door of death was opened wide.
[Chorus]
O Lord, help me to die each day,
And crucify my fleshly way.
Feed Thou my spirit with Thy Word,
And keep my soul alive, O Lord.
[Verse 3]
All wickedness before Thee stains,
Yet some bring death and endless pains.
The sin that wounds the soul within,
Will lead to death if held in sin.
[Chorus]
O Lord, help me to die each day,
And crucify my fleshly way.
Feed Thou my spirit with Thy Word,
And keep my soul alive, O Lord.
[Verse 4]
The one who gives must also eat,
And daily bow before Thy feet.
No man is righteous by his might,
But each must walk within Thy light.
[Chorus]
O Lord, help me to die each day,
And crucify my fleshly way.
Feed Thou my spirit with Thy Word,
And keep my soul alive, O Lord.
[Verse 5]
So let us crucify the flesh,
And let Thy Spirit make us fresh.
Unspotted from this world remain,
And enter peace where Thou dost reign.
[Final Chorus]
O Lord, help me to die each day,
And crucify my fleshly way.
Feed Thou my spirit with Thy Word,
And keep my soul alive, O Lord.
