It ever does need fed
It never stops wanting
Pleasures that are dead
The flesh profits nothing
The Spirit is peace and life
The flesh always leads to
Pain and unending strife
Oh crucify me Lord
That my flesh may daily die
Oh curse these passions
That moment by moment try
To make me their slave
Come Christ and set me free
Oh meet me in the sacraments
Christ never let me be
Oh flesh may I kill you
By faith and works of love
Oh flesh may you bow down
Before Gods Holy Dove
Oh flesh how I hate
All you help me do
Oh flesh burn away
In flames Holy and true
