self-made for destruction – v5

control, dominion

over our lives, our choices,

the lie of consumption

we are self-made for destruction

eternal death, damnation

an eternity in hell.

only life in submission

in giving our lives over

to God, to Christ;

nothing of control

of our own destiny.

we have life in Christ alone

in falling to our knees

we are self-made for destruction

life in suffering, in walking,

in giving our lives over

in submission to God.
