In following the Christ
walking with him this week
made holy by his submission
following the will of God
Partaking of his resurrection
in dying with him
rising from the grave
freed from death and sin
Lovingly walking,
humbly yoked to our savior
picking up the towel
tucking it in our waist
Going as he sends us
out into this troubled world
to help our neighbor
to share his loving word
Being merely the gloves
the skin alone of our master
being his hands and feet
doing our master’s work
Living with Christ
his spirit indwelling within us
offering hope to one another
Christ walking with us
healing this broken world
