Though our outer self is wasting away
Cracked and chipped like jars of clay
Our inner man is renewed each day
So we do not lose heart
Though afflictions come in every way
Persecutions flood against our faith
It's the power of Christ
That withstands the weight
So we do not lose heart
For what we proclaim is not ourselves
But Jesus Christ as Lord
We look not to things that pass away
But to our eternal reward
Though our sinful hearts are prone to fear
The opinions from our earthly peers
We must not distort or make unclear
The perfect word of God
For the enemy veils every eye
Makes the mind of man like darkest night
We must shine the gospel light of Christ
And we must not lose heart
For what we proclaim is not ourselves
But Jesus Christ as Lord
We look not to things that pass away
But to our eternal reward
For God who said
Let light shine in darkness
Has shone in our hearts
To shine the light of Christ
So now
Reconciled
We share this salvation
That tears off the veils
To behold His glorious light
For God who said
Let light shine in darkness
Has shone in our hearts
To shine the light of Christ
So now
Reconciled
We share this salvation
That tears off the veils
To behold His glorious light
For what we proclaim is not ourselves
But Jesus Christ as Lord
We look not to things that pass away
But to our eternal reward
For what we proclaim is not ourselves
But Jesus Christ as Lord
We look not to things that pass away
But to our eternal reward
