The little things that we give up
things we add to our days
denying ourselves of chocolate, TV,
spending more time in the word, in prayer
Each a reminder, to be purposeful,
thinking of Christ going to the cross
choosing to sacrifice all for me
that I may live again
Taking on my sin, my stain
washing me clean with his blood
something to awesome, so hard to understand
knowing I do not deserve such grace
Lenten season upon us
hoping to draw closer to him
in the little things that I give up
in the things I do in his name
