I Did Not Come to You by Depending on the Arm of the Flesh

I did not come to You by depending on the arm of the flesh.
I dared not come to You by depending on my own righteousness.
You anointed my soul with a measure of Your grace,
And You anointed me with a measure of Your faith.

The baptism is not by depending on the arm of the flesh,
Nor does the Spirit flow by depending on our own righteousness.
You anointed my soul with a measure of Your grace,
And You anointed me with a seed of your fullness.

I could not turn from sin by depending on the arm of the flesh,
I could not leave my sin by depending on my own righteousness.
You anointed my soul with a measure of Your grace,
And You anointed me with a seed of holiness.

I simply submitted to Your righteousness.
I simply surrendered to Your grace.
That seed that You planted will grow into fullness,
As I yield to Your loving embrace.

There’s no weapon for this war by depending on the arm of the flesh,
From Your Spirit there’s no power by depending on my own righteousness.
You anointed my soul with a measure of Your grace,
And You anointed me with and gave me of Yourself.

Your temple can’t be built by depending on the arm of the flesh,
No stone is set in place by depending on its own righteousness.
You anointed my soul with a measure of Your grace,
And Your foundation stands, and You set me in my place.

Your body can’t be formed by depending on the arm of the flesh,
No member set in place by depending on its own righteousness.
You anointed my soul with a measure of Your grace,
And Your foundation stands, and You set me in my place

I simply submitted to Your righteousness.
I simply surrendered to Your grace.
That seed that You planted will grow into fullness,
As I yield to Your loving embrace.

I cannot serve you, Lord, by depending on the arm of the flesh,
Nor edify Your church by depending on my own righteousness.
You anointed my soul with a measure of your grace,
And You caused me to stand and labor in my place.

I could not see your plan by depending on the eye of the flesh,
Could not see government by depending on my own righteousness.
You anointed my soul with a measure of Your grace,
And You anoint me with Your own orderliness.

I can’t see ministries by depending on the eye of the flesh,
I can’t discern You, Lord, by leaning on my own righteousness.
You anointed my soul with a measure of your grace,
And You opened up my eyes so I might glimpse Your face.

I simply submitted to Your righteousness.
I simply surrendered to Your grace.
That seed that You planted will grow into fullness,
As I yield to Your loving embrace.
