My spirit tied to flesh and bone
Will often cry and moan or groan
For greater things it wants to see
But, tied to flesh this cannot be
My spirit made to walk with God
My flesh to walk on earthly sod
My spirit made to live beyond
My flesh, this world it’s gripping bond
My spirit made to sing and praise
My flesh, my spirit oft’ betrays
My spirit man wants more and more
My flesh is weak, is tired and sore
My spirit made to live sin free
My flesh, it cannot sinless be
My spirit wants to soar and fly
My flesh is so afraid to try
My Savior will return someday
My flesh and bone will go away
Instead I’ll have a body new
Where flesh and spirit are not two
My spirit with new flesh and bone
Will never ever moan or groan
The greater things I’ll finally see
For one new man I’ll always be
