In the Footsteps of Your Son

Walking where he walked
the way of the cross
the path you have chosen
in the footsteps of your son
submitting my will, my choices
to your will, oh Lord
to turn from the world

Your perfect plan
your provision for my life
my days numbers, my hairs known to you
trusting in your goodness, in your love
in the grace you heap on me
walking differently than in my past

Focused on the cross, on your son
on his sacrifice, his servanthood,
not out of obligation
out of love, obedience
taking the way of the cross
following your loving call
the way home
