We may not carry
scars from beatings
from proclaiming
the good news of Christ
Unlike Paul
many journey onward
only words
questioning our path
So much more
we should soldier onward
going out
to spread his love
Ever walking
what ere the slings and arrows
bolding going
to do our master’s work

The Symbol of the Cross
The simple cross of wood
around my neck, reminding
symbol of the cross of Jesus
where he suffered
and died for me
Carried with me
on my journey
going with me day to day
onward marching
following my savior
Solemnly bearing,
within my heart,
the spirit of
that old rugged cross

Guiding When They Stumble
Watching for our brothers
our sisters in this walk
offering assistance
guiding when they stumble
giving freely
that none would slip
that no one would fall
Help for our neighbor
that we both would stay on the path
the road, the way
following Christ ever
our brother, our savior
going as he leads us
as he calls us to serve
Restored to the family
the community of believers
all sinners needing God’s grace
Gently guiding
our fellow travelers closer
conforming our lives
to our master’s will

Crucifying My Past
In repenting
belonging to Christ
going to Calvary with Him
Crucifying my past
my sins on the cross
dying with Him
Buried in the grave
descending to Sheol
with my master, my king
Rising with Him
on the third day
forever freed of my sin
Bearing fruit worthy
or so is my prayer
following the king of glory
Going as he was sent
to the ends of the earth
being messengers of His love

When God Was Ready
Christ came
down to the earth
in the form of man
in the fullness of time
when God was ready
to fulfill all prophecy
Under the law
born of the people
in David’s holy line
freeing us from
the wages of sin
going to the cross for us
that we may rise with him

To the Cross, to the Grave
My life changed
going to the cross, to the grave
being put to death with Christ
only then could I know
the depth of his sacrifice
Going to the tomb
the waters of baptism
the Spirit descending on me
giving me power to speak
guiding my steps
that I may serve you Lord
Rising with him
saved by his holy grace
the sacrifice of my king
making me a messenger of God
sent as his servant,
doing the will of my master
going as I am sent,
that all may hear the good news
