but this is not our task – v2

The prayer of believers
to be Christ’s hands and feet;
but it is hard to raise this pray
as He chose the cross.

To open wide His arms
to take on the sins of man;
but we are to remember
that this offering was for all.

Once and for all time
this is not our task;
other work to be done
our shoulder to the plow.

We are to join with Him
in the yoke of Christ;
going forth as He did
out into the world.
