In living or dying
an offering to the Lord
not for ourselves
to do as we choose
humbly living, dying
unto the Lord alone
He is our focus,
the guide star of our lives
in his living and dying
in his rising
he gave us new birth
Christ, our master,
calls us to follow
gratefully we rise
hearing his voice
following our shepherd
in our living or dying
offering our all
humbly for the Lord
