follow the way – v2

follow the way
of the cross, of Christ Jesus;
carry Christ with you
out into the world

breathe in the love
that Christ has for us;
listen to the Spirit
whispering deep within

straying from the path – 2 – v4

straying from the path
fighting the yoke
even if the yoke is light,
choking on God’s bit

straying from the path
the way God has written;
pulling on the reins
thinking we are victims

straying from the path
out into the wilderness
all of us acting as prodigals
seeking other riches

it cost His Son’s life – v3

no other lamb in the thicket
ready to honor the trust
the faith of Abraham
ready to offer his son
as a loving sacrifice

it cost His Son’s life
our Lord, Christ Jesus
there on Golgotha
to buy us salvation
to set us free from sin

grace was priceless
beyond comprehension
not cheap at all, costly;
Christ became our sacrifice
the lamb nailed to the tree

why didn’t Martha

a story, a debate, a question
for the ages, for our times
her sister Mary sat as a disciple
at the feet of their Lord
Jesus, their Master
in their own home

why didn’t she, Martha
sit at His feet, a disciple
a friend of Jesus
a beloved of Christ
still working in the kitchen
not sitting at His feet
