Raised with Christ - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Our sights on Christ
raised with him in our dying
rising from the waters
in him we have eternal life
dwelling with him in glory

The life we live here below
a shell of our future with him
our life poured out as he did
becoming an empty vessel

Filled with the goodness of God
that his love may shine
pouring out of us
that others may know your grace
the seed within them may grow
that all would know the Lord
our redeemer and our king
