Serving, Out of Our Freedom

Our choice, in our hearts
whether we will follow
pouring out the love
that was poured down on us

Serving, out of our freedom
not by obligation
but by the stirrings of our hearts

Giving to our neighbors
the love that we have found
God revealed
in the mystery of Christ

Dying that we may know
the face of the father
Rising that we may live
with him in eternity

Serving, that they would know
the wonder of God’s grace
coming to earth as a man
rising to paradise
