seeking Christ
alone, in our room
seeking the Savior out
longing to hear his words
his message for our hearts
Yet like Nicodemus
sometimes the words are hard
wondering what Christ meant
in the calling to our hearts
what we are to discern
what is the Master’s plan
Praying for clarity
in the call from above
Feeling God’s leading
his calling to our heart
Wrapped in his love
drenched in his grace
We offer up our lives
for the warmth of his embrace

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.”
