Buried in the grave of Jesus, We believe what God has said;
Faith, His judgment acquiescing, “Reckons” now that we are dead.

Death and judgment are behind us, Grace and glory are before–
All the billows rolled o’er Jesus, There exhausted all their power.

“First-fruits” of the resurrection, He is risen from the tomb;
Now we stand in new creation, Free, because beyond our doom.

Jesus died, and we died with Him, “Buried” in His grave we lie,
One with Christ in resurrection, “Seated” now in Him on high.

We await the full redemption, When the Risen one shall come;
And our mortal body changed, Shall be “fashioned” like His own.

Lord, we share in Thy rejection—Thy reproach oh may be love;
Here we stand in Thine acceptance In the Father’s sight above.

Scriptures brought to mind – Romans 6, Colossians 3; I Corinthians 15; Romans 8.
Many Christians need to clearly understand the difference between “Christ in my place” – what Jesus did for me 2000 years ago and “Christ in me” – what Jesus is doing in my life today.
When Christ died, I died; When Christ was buried, I was buried; When Christ was raised, I was raised; I am in Him and He is in me.
