We Are Not Our Own But The Lord's

If we are not our own but the Lord's 

It is plain both what error is to be shunned

And to what end the actions of our lives ought to be directed

We are not our own

Therefore, neither is our own reason or will to rule our acts and counsels

We are not our own

Therefore, let us not make it our end to seek what may be agreeable to our carnal nature

We are not our own

Therefore, as far as possible, let us forget ourselves and the things that are ours

On the otherhand, we are the Lord's

Let us therefore, live and die to him (Romans 14:8)

We are the Lord's

Therefore, let his wisdom and will preside over all our actions

We are the Lord's

To him then, as the only legitimate end, let every part of our life be  directed

O how great the proficiency of him 

Who taught that he is not his own

Has withdrawn the dominion and government of himself

From his own reason that he may give them to God

For as the surest source of destruction to men is to obey themselves

So the only haven of safety is to have no other will

No other wisdom than to follow the Lord wherever he leads
