The Words of Christ meaningless

All that Christ spoke,
by his words, his actions
while he walked the earth
as he hung on the cross

The words of Christ meaningless
though with power, certain
authority from on high
but lost without our action

We are the ones who choose
not to save us from our death
God has already done this
by Christ’s sacrifice on the cross

But we are the ones who choose
whether to accept the gift
whether to open the offering of God
to walk with changed lives
