Live for the Glory of God
If Paul was Irish, and wrote his letter to the Roman Church whilst sitting in a local pub, the first part of chapter six might have been something like this.
Err, yeah.

21st Century Worship - Worship and Praise from Today's heart to eternity's God
21st Century Worship is the name I use for pretty much all my worship music endeavors. The band is not so much a band yet - it's me. And I have some people who play with me, for the most part my worship team at the church where I lead worship. 21st Century Worship is about taking the timeless truth of the glory of God and worship of Him and bringing it into a place that fits today's world - while not giving up anything of the music's timelessness and truth.
Story behind the song
Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more kindness and forgiveness? Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it? Or have you forgotten that when we became Christians and were baptized to become one with Christ Jesus, we died with him? For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives. Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised as he was. Our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin. For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin. And since we died with Christ, we know we will also share his new life. We are sure of this because Christ rose from the dead, and he will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him. He died once to defeat sin, and now he lives for the glory of God. So you should consider yourselves dead to sin and able to live for the glory of God through Christ Jesus. Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to its lustful desires. Do not let any part of your body become a tool of wickedness, to be used for sinning. Instead, give yourselves completely to God since you have been given new life. And use your whole body as a tool to do what is right for the glory of God. Sin is no longer your master, for you are no longer subject to the law, which enslaves you to sin. Instead, you are free by Gods’ grace.
Romans 6:1-14 (NLT)
Lyrics
(verse 1)
We have died to sin.
We were baptized to bury our sin.
But he rose again.
We are raised back to life ‘cause He lives.
The sinful self I used to be was made a sacrifice
He was crucified with Christ and has no more power in my life.
(chorus)
We are one with Christ, in His death and His living,
To live for the Glory of God.
We are raised with Christ and we share in the new life He gives...
We are one with Christ, in His death and His living,
To live for the Glory of God.
We are raised with Christ and we share in the new life He gives...
To live for the Glory of God.
To live for the Glory of God.
To live for the Glory of, live for the Glory of God.
(verse 2)
When we died with Christ -
we were freed from the power of sin
Now we share the life;
He who rose will never die again.
I give myself completely to God - for He gives new life
May I be a tool of His glory and do what is right
(extended chorus)
We are one with Christ, in His death and His living,
To live for the Glory of God.
We are raised with Christ and we share in the new life He gives...
We are one with Christ, in His death and His living,
To live for the Glory of God.
We are raised with Christ and we share in the new life He gives...
We are one with Christ, in His death and His living,
To live for the Glory of God.
We are raised with Christ and we share in the new life He gives...
To live for the Glory of God.
To live for the Glory of God.
To live for the Glory of, live for the Glory of God.
