While preaching through Romans 12:1-8 in 2004, John Piper wrote a song inspired by the text. Musician Kevin Potherician put the song to music.


O Jesus, take my bent away

For thinking much of me,

And kill my pride, and from this day

With mercy make me free.


O Jesus, grant the gift to see

The treasure that you are,

And as the night eclipses me,

O be my Morning Star.


And now if I should serve, or lead,

Or give, or mercy show,

O Jesus, let my love be freed,

And like a river flow.


O Jesus, be the treasure of

My heart and all I do,

And may the river of my love,

Alone make much of you.
