If we are to be his followers
disciples of Christ
children of our father
sheep of his flock
Being an offering
pouring ourselves out
emptied of our will
become the sacrifice
Our flesh the fleece
the skin of the lamb
going to the cross
as we walk this land
All of our days
conformed to Christ
guided by his Spirit
speaking to us from within
