Cutting off self

The circumcision of the cross
cutting off self
fully submitting his flesh
to the glory of God

The consecration of joy
redemption for our sin
the body of Christ
on the rugged cross

Cutting off self
complete submission to God
this paves the way
for the harvest to come

Light cuts through
our true nature exposed
our bodies illumined like Christ
ready to serve

The circumcision of the cross
cutting off self
fully submitting his flesh
to the glory of God
