Dying on the Cross in Christ

Turning over my past
joining Paul’s confession
dying on the cross with Christ
leaving my self
my focus on the earth
rising with Christ
given eternal birth

Living for Christ
heeding my master’s call
walking with him by my side
guiding me in the world
taking up my cross
sharing the grace of God
using my gifts from him
a messenger of God’s love
