We had been in the way

Of what God wants to do.

If we lay down

Humbled

Not spiritually arrogant

Expressing love

Through obedience to the Spirit of Christ

By the Spirit, and not by the flesh

Then we will see

What God will do in our midst

Both in us and through us

It is not hard

To stop being in the way

Hear my sorrow O God

For I have been in the way

Show me how to go low

Show me how to wait

Forgive us and have mercy

We did not see your miracles

When we were in the way

Hang on the cross and die

Be wrapped in grave clothes,

Oh my flesh!

Selfish pride,

Be wrapped in linen

And laid in a cave

Immersed in His own death

Following His way

I come alive

His death is rest

His life is peace
