Flesh

The flesh is ever hungry 
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
