The christian life is simply a process of having your natural self changed into a christ self
And that this process goes on very far in time
One's most private wishes, one's point of view, are the things that have to be changed
As long as the old self is there its taint will be over all we do
We try to be religious and become pharisees
We try to be kind and become patronizing
Social service ends in red tape of officialdom
Unselfishness becomes a form of showing off
I don't mean of course that we're to stop trying to be good
We've got to do the best we can
The real cure lies far deeper
Out of our self and into christ we must go
