Reading the words of Paul
how he would have preferred death
to walk with Christ
to leave this mortal coil
Yet his words, his life
a testimony to us all
all who have followed
to answered the servant call
That we would live in Christ
sharing his witness of love
that while we have breath
we would answer the servant call
Living or dying,
ever walking with Christ
yoked to our savior
walking the way of the cross
Led by the Spirit
heeding the shepherd’s call
peace in his presence
submitting to God our all
