every I statement

Our focus selfish
of our conversion, our saving
I am redeemed,
Christ has saved me

Every I statement
if this is the ending
of the world, not holy
not worthy of his disciples

Only if the beginning,
not the end to itself
our saving for a purpose
to share the good news

Our lives to be a vessel
to be filled, to be poured
sharing as we are given
life evermore
