Loyalty, to the death – v2

a choice to turn

to travel further, deeper

leaving one life

as a distant memory

following another

loyalty, to the death,

changing our identity

as a follower of Christ

love overwhelming

becoming a new being

reborn in the Spirit

to a life of grace

following Christ

where the Spirit leads us

no longer who we were

a servant of God.
