Submitting

To the will of God
submitting to servanthood
enduring agony
the way of the cross
sacrifice in this life
from the very beginning
before he was the babe
laid in the manger bed
knowing the cup he must drink
the bitter taste,
the mantle of sin
the weight upon his shoulders
carrying our shame
our stain in his blood
shed for our redemption
following the master’s call
submitting to his will
