“The carnal mind is enmity against God.” Rom. 8. 7

1 The carnal mind takes different ways,
  And different objects she surveys;
  She’s pleased with things that suit her taste,
  But hates the God of truth and grace.

2 No beauty in the Lord she views,
  Nor is she charmed with gospel-news;
  She sets at nought, with vain contempt,
  The Man the Lord Jehovah sent.

3 She hates him as the mighty God,
  The church’s Wisdom, Life, and Head;
  His priestly office she disdains,
  And wantons with his wounds and pains.

4 Whatever office Jesus bears,
  Or in what glorious form appears,
  She was, and is, and still will be
  Against him dreadful enmity.

5 [Is this the case? Yes, Lord, ’tis true;
  And I’ve a carnal nature too,
  That fights, with all its hellish might,
  Against the God of my delight.

6 Yet, bless the Lord, through grace I feel
  I have a mind that loves him well;
  Nor shall the dreadful power of sin,
  My better part from Jesus win.]

7 [May grace not only live and reign,
  But may its powers be felt and seen;
  Dear God, my every foe subdue,
  And make me more than conqueror too.]
