Though this outer man of ours may be falling into decay.
And if we think of our ageing body, we may despair.
The inner man is renewed day by day.
As long as it is the universal spirit for which we care.

We are enslaved by our mind.
And by passing time.
But to ourselves we need to be kind.
For what is truly real is not bound by time.

Yes the troubles that are soon over.
Train us for the weight of carrying eternal glory.
Here we stumble , one day we will be lying in clover.
And it will matter little if people don’t remember our story.

And so we have no eyes for things that are visible.
Only for things that are invisible.

……..

We fall to decay
Our inner body renews
And so we survive

……..

See 2 Corinthians 4
