Only Through Christ - edited - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Grounding ourselves in him
the living risen Christ
his teachings, how he walked on the earth
we are forgiven by love, by his amazing grace

Humbling himself, become the sacrifice
that all would be reborn
we who die with him, rising with him again

All the whole world
embraced by his love
we are redeemed by his precious blood

Only through Christ
should we walk the earth
guided in love, following his Spirit’s call
modeling our lives in him

Prayer of Dedication:
“Abundant God, we thank you for the jars of our lives
that are constantly being filled. We offer our gifts to you,
that others may know of your abundance and grace.
Fill the hungry with good things. Lift up the oppressed.
Watch over the stranger and comfort the lonely.
Through our gifts, may we do likewise.
In the name of Christ the Comforter, we pray. Amen”
