Jesus taught a new way of living

Jesus taught a new way of living
a new way of life,
a humbleness of the spirit
a submitting to almighty God

Love for our neighbor
as Christ loves us
giving his life that we might live
an example for all of us

We cannot go to the cross
he only could climb the tree
the high priest become the lamb
dying that we might live

Yet in this our example
what God means by love
giving ourselves completely
for our neighbors and our God
