The Choice of the Cross

The power to lay down
the choice of the cross
the power to take it again
to rise from the grave
Christ, our shepherd,
prepared to die for us
to give himself
that we may be raised up

John 10:17-18
“Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life,
that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me,
but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down,
and I have power to take it again. This commandment have
I received of my Father.”
