I Am Not I

I Am Not I

I am not I.
I am this one
Living inside me whom I do not see,
Who at times I manage to visit,
And whom at other times I forget;
The one who remains silent when I rail,
The one who forgives, sweet, when I hate,
The one who walks in another realm
Where I am not,
The one who remains alive, for I am dead!

(For it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.
And the life that I now live in the flesh,
I live by the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ,
Who loves me and delivered himself up for me!)
Me are a We! A living breathing body.
The body of Christ, living in two realms!
