With a Millstone of Debt – v2
My life, our nation
following false gods
held in place
no turning from this path
Satan holding us
stuck in this path
no way to the light
a millstone of debt
Held in the darkness
the ways of the world
this time, this place
needing to shed the shackles
Breaking his chains
the grip of the world
to follow our Savior
to follow his ways

The dual nature of Christ – v2
If Christ wasn’t God
Love come to earth
if He wasn’t the Word
the living Word of God
None of his words would have been enough
only by His choice, going to the cross
redeeming us with His life
rising to paradise
If Christ wasn’t human
his life with less meaning
nothing we could aspire to
an example for our lives
We couldn’t sacrifice
We couldn’t submit to God
only by being human
can we follow the cross

Because Christ was both God and Man – v2
Because Christ was God
Love come to earth
He is the Word
the living Word of God
but His words were not enough
to save us from death
But by his choice, going to the cross
redeeming us with His life
rising to paradise
Because Christ was human
His life with real meaning
His choice, as a person, to go to the cross
Something we must aspire to
an example for our lives
We can sacrifice, a servant,
We can submit to God
only because Christ was human
can we follow the way of the cross

Love chose the Cross
God came to earth
to teach us about Love
to share Love with us
Love came as a baby
Love came as Christ
Love lives among us
the word become flesh
God here with us
Emmanuel, the Christ
Love chose the Cross

to drink of that cup
to offer his life, his body
his blood on the cross

to teach us about Love
to share Love with us
Love came as a baby
Love came as Christ
Love lives among us
the word become flesh
God here with us
Emmanuel, the Christ
Love chose the Cross
to submit to God
to drink of that cup
to offer his life, his body
his blood on the cross

Because Christ was both God and Man
Because Christ was God
Love come to earth
He was the word
the living Word of God
the words were not enough
But by his choice, going to the cross
redeeming us with his life
rising to paradise
Because Christ was human
His life with real meaning
Something we must aspire to
an example for our lives
We can sacrifice, a servant,
we can submit to God
only because Christ was human
can we follow the way of the cross

The dual nature of Christ
If Christ wasn’t God
Love come to earth
if he wasn’t the word
the living Word of God
none of the words would have been enough
only by his choice, going to the cross
redeeming us with his life
rising to paradise
If Christ wasn’t human
his life with less meaning
nothing we could aspire to
an example for our lives
We couldn’t sacrifice
we couldn’t submit to God
only by being human
can we follow the cross

When Christ chose the Cross
The words of the law
the new command
to love our neighbors
as Christ loved us
perhaps oblique, opaque
hard to understand
in the stillness of the upper room
The words on Thursday night
there in the upper room
informed with power Good Friday
when Christ chose the cross
when he became the Lamb
submissive to God
that we would live again

Not by Human Hands
By the will of God
the submission of Christ

Within two hours
The words of commandment
the new words of love
spoken in the upper room
by Jesus, in love
Spoken to them
what God means by love
within two hours
after the garden
the betrayer, the leaders
the guards to descend upon them
This was the moment
right before the cross
teaching a new law
how we are to love

Christ climbed the Tree
No human hand could make him
not if he had not submitting
Christ was God incarnate
the Lord, Emmanuel
Christ climbed the tree
submitting to the judgment
showing what love truly means
offering up to God
His life, his body,
broken, poured out
on the altar of the cross
a fragrant sacrifice
God died for us
by his choice in submission
Christ climbed the tree
to raise us from the dead

Love climbed the Cross – v2
Christ showed us love
Christ told us to love
a new commandment
spoken in the upper room
on the night of his betrayal
Christ is God, incarnate,
the Son of the Father
God is Love, ergo,
Christ is Love incarnate
We are to love, unconditional, sacrificial,
to love as Christ loved us
Love climbed the cross
paying the price for us
This is what Christ means by love
when he called us to love
loving God so much
submitting his life for us
when Love climbed the cross

Christ told us to love
a new commandment
spoken in the upper room
on the night of his betrayal
Christ is God, incarnate,
the Son of the Father
God is Love, ergo,
Christ is Love incarnate
We are to love, unconditional, sacrificial,
to love as Christ loved us
Love climbed the cross
paying the price for us
This is what Christ means by love
when he called us to love
loving God so much
submitting his life for us
when Love climbed the cross

Christ became the Lamb
God sent his Son
down to earth as man
submissive to God’s command
giving up his will
Unlike Abraham
preparing to sacrifice Isaac
Christ took on the mantle
choosing to become the Lamb
Christ is the Messiah
the one long foretold
He is the Emmanuel
God here with us
God, who is Love,
chose to climb the tree
becoming the lamb, the sacrifice
climbing the rugged cross
This was love,
something we could see
God come down as a human
to bring us liberty
This was the command
how we are to love
Christ choosing the path to Calvary
when Love climbed the Cross

God went to the cross
Christ spoke love
for God is love
choosing to submit
to follow the will of God
Letting the betrayer go
setting the day in motion
knowing what was to come
submissive to God’s plan
Christ was fully human
he knows human pain
yet God went to the cross
in the flesh of mortal man
Only in dying, descending to the dead
God’s love made perfect
only in slaying the unblemished lamb
could we rise with Christ, redeemed
This is the love we are called to
to submit our lives to God
giving to our neighbors
that they may have life with Him
This is what Christ means
to love as he loved us
walking holy, as a prophet,
sharing the light of God

Was this a human who went to the cross
The new law in context
power in his humanity
Christ was fully human
showing how to be submissive
to choose to follow God
calling us to follow
a new law, his witness
to love as he loved us
to follow God completely
not turning right or left
this human choosing to sacrifice
to drink of that cup
to go to the cross to redeem us
to love us that much

Was this human love
When Christ spoke to them
in that upper room
after the washing,
the breaking of the bread
a new teaching, a new command
after the betrayer fled
headlong into that night
What He said, the new law
changing the ancient words
not just to love, to merely love,
to love our neighbors as ourselves
no, to go much further, beyond,
to love in the way Christ loves us
words best understood after the resurrection
Was this human love,
because Christ was fully human
the carpenter’s son, the heir of David
choosing to be baptized, at the Jordan
commissioned by God, the dove descending
walking with them, by the sea
calling them to follow
Is this something we can attain
can we love as Christ loved
submitting our all to God
holding nothing back, no fingers crossed,
hedging our bets, relying fully on Jesus
the Spirit living within us
was this human love
We fail, we stumble, we run away
denying God, betraying, going astray
yet we can submit, can offer
God our lives, our promise
to strive to reach that goal
not in this life, perhaps
and seek to follow our Master

Being both Man and God
Christ telling them to love
to love as he loved us
something more than words
how he lived his life
Letting Judas go
leaving the upper room
the betrayer into the night
seeking to turn him in
Knowing what was to come
stopping to wash their feet
from the start loving us
beyond our wildest dreams
The words of the new law
a new command upon our hearts
to love as Christ first loved us
an example for our lives
Being both man and God
the Son of the living God
choosing to submit, to go to the cross
giving his life for ours
This was love, with a cost,
knowing he would feel real pain
dying because of our shame
choosing the pit for us
Christ being both God and man
knowing what was to come
yet letting Judas go into the night
knowing what was begun

Power in Christ’s Humanity
His Words of the new law
the new command for us
spoken by Christ, the Messiah,
the Lamb, God
on the night before the cross
Power in Christ’s humanity
that He was both God and man
humble, as servant, submissive,
living out God’s plan
As Christ loved us, how we are to love,
this is what this means -
Christ going to the cross
submissive to God, the Lamb, the cost
Sacrificing the perfect life, the Lamb,
faithful to God’s command
loving as God loved us
The Son of God, of Man.

Sacrificing the Unblemished Lamb – v2
Power in these words
where they took place
in the upper room
before Judas betrayed him
God here with us
in the skin of human flesh
fulfilling the law, the prophets
walking in God’s love
Christ speaking the new law
the command, his living
his choice to die
to become the sacrifice
Sacrificing the unblemished lamb
the living Son of God
come here to save us
an example for our lives

Power in His Humanity
Words of the new law
the new command for us
spoken by Christ
the night before the cross
Power in his humanity
that he was both God and man
humble, as servant
living out God’s plan
As Christ loved us
this is what this means
Christ going to the cross
submissive to God, the Lamb
Sacrificing the perfect life
faithful to God’s command
loving as God loved
The Son of God, of Man.

was this Jesus that loved us
A new command, a new teaching
here in the upper room
spoken to us on that night
the night of his betrayal
Telling us to go further
beyond the ancient law
to love as we love
our neighbors as ourselves
To love instead as Christ loved
sacrificing to God
a fragrant offering given
that we would be free
Was this Jesus who loved us
or was this the Christ
God here among us
Love come down from heaven
offering life to us

Would God ask of us
In the heart of God
praying we would follow
that we would love
as Christ loved us
Would God ask of us
something impossible
that we cannot do, instead,
a prayer of God offered
That we would be disciples
following our Savior
loving our neighbors

Christ said Must
In at least some tellings
of the word Christ spoke to us
that we must love
as Christ loved us.
That we must treat our neighbors
with love, as God loved us.
A new command, a prayer,
one which we should follow
showing God in our living
a light to the whole world.
That we must love our neighbors
as God first loved us.

Can we love as Christ loved us
In this new command a challenge

Are we able to love
Love spoken to them
spoken by Love
God right before them
in that upper room
Gathering us to him
offering a new word
a commandment to love
as Love loved us
Offering a witness, a challenge
are we able to love
as Love loved us
God in the flesh before us
the Son, the Christ, the Lamb.

The importance of this teaching
More than a parable,
a story, even a healing
Christ in the upper room
on the night of his betrayal
speaking a new law
a new holy commandment
to love our neighbors as he loved us
to love as God loves us
The importance of this teaching
in the context of the moment
not on tablets of stone
but spoken to them by God
a new holy commandment
how we are to love
one of the last words he would give us

Called to be like God
Not to be all-powerful
the clay from the wheel
but to love as Christ loves
to submit our lives to God
Called to be like God
offering love to all
submitting our lives humble,
like Christ giving our all

Was this command a prayer
Did Christ really believe
we could follow this command
to love as he loved us
going beyond the ancient law
to love God with our hearts,
our neighbors as ourselves
Was this command a prayer
a musings of God
was this word a breath
a spoken by the Lord
Did he expect them to follow
those who would run away
spoken even to Peter
who would deny his holy name
Was this command a prayer
a breath-prayer of God
that we would strive to follow
to love as Christ loved us
sacrificing his life for us
submissive to the cross
