This is no average Cause we are called to
and accountable for!
This is our reply to the Creator of Heaven
and earth
Not as some rigid to-do list
Nor with reluctant ‘yes’
Or because ‘Duty doth insist’
Nor for self-righteousness
Not for the sake of pious rites
That loveless deeds employ
But because heart and soul delights
In serving You with joy
With gratitude, humble and kind
With love, to find my place
With all of heart, soul, strength and mind
Devoted to Your grace
Lord, because of the awful price
You undertook to pay
Make me a living sacrifice
On altars of Today
© Janet Martin
Rom.12:1
Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters,
by the mercies of God,
to present your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice,
acceptable to God,
which is your spiritual service of worship.
