to love the way God loved

to love as our Savior loved
complete submission
sacrifice to the Father’s will
completely giving
forgiving the way God forgives
remembering our sin no more

Entering Lent
a forty-day season
walking in my ashes
I want to feel you
to transform my heart
deep within me
carrying with me
a reminder of my sin

While somber, contemplative
spending time in fasting and prayer
joy in my relationship
walking with you, Lord
My life a blessing
with Christ made brand new
healing me completely
let me live in You
