Preface note: This is a short poetic plea not for an agonizing physical death on a cross but rather the death of the selfish and destructive part of the ego that keeps us from our missions in life to extend the loving mercy of God's forgiveness. This "death" of selfishness is achieved by embracing the cross that we must carry to the hill and learning to serve God and others ultimately in the land of abundance that we are all destined for.


It is really just about becoming a little less selfish with the gifts that we have been given.





Blessed Lord how can I


Ever look you in the eye


When I am so sinful true


Weak, I cannot follow through


With my pledge to serve you well


Please don’t cast me into hell


In that weakness lifted me up


On the cross that was set up


For me to hang on and die


Looking through the darkened sky


Cloud and darkness do not hide


I will suffer and abide


'til the father let me rest


No more to be put to the test


I’m not Christ nor God nor Saint


Just a portrait you will paint


With the eternal brush you make


The image that others here will take


And say “yes” or “no” he was


Dedicated to your cause


Of extending mercy to


All who ever hoped in you
