we are born to eternal life – v3

In dying to self, to our flesh,

our lives have meaning;

We are at peace within our walk.

By sacrificing ourselves completely,

we are born to eternal life.

For it is in our giving

that we truly believe;

Only by forgiving our neighbors

may we rise from our knees.

May we fully receive

the bounty, the life,

to which God calls us;

May we have joy, now,

here on earth.

May I love

May I love

May I love as my first instinct,

not seeking to be loved;

but may I love

as a way of living.

May I be love, Christ,

may I sow light – v2

May I sow light

the light of Jesus,

Light to pierce the darkness

to drive cares away.

May I sow light

to overwhelm the chaos;

May I speak Christ

with every word, every action.

where there is despair – v2

where there is despair

where the darkness stalks us,

may I sow hope

may I speak Jesus,

the One hope that we cling to;

may I shine His light

into the darkness

may I sow hope

to drive despair from us

to cast despair away.

we are born to eternal life – v2

in dying to self, our flesh,

our lives have meaning

we are at peace within our walk

by sacrificing ourselves completely,

we are born to eternal life;

For it is in our giving

that we truly believe

only by forgiving our neighbors

may we rise from our knees

may we fully receive

the bounty, the life

to which God calls us

may we have joy

here on earth.

as I am able

may I love

as my first instinct,

not seeking to be loved

but may I love

as a way of loving

may I be love
