Going forward
to receive the ashes
humble in my spirit
but feeling your love
Happy in my dust
contemplating my past
knowing you are with me
in the stormy blast
Taking on my sin
the stain upon you
redeeming me by your blood
changing my life in you
Able to stand
only because of your grace
able to stand before God
to see his heavenly face
Needing you with me
to rise above the dust
to walk in your light
carrying Christ into the world
making the darkness bright

“Michelle and I join with millions of Christians
here and across the world to mark Ash Wednesday.
As we observe the season of Lent, we receive
with thanksgiving this opportunity for grace and repentance,
recommit ourselves to our faith, and
remember our obligations to one another.”
