Our Cross To Bear

Dare to bear the cross 
and break the chains of sin 
then ascend, brethren. 
For death is not the end, 
but indeed it is where true life begins. 
I say this for the Lord speaks to me, 
and through me to you. 
For he exists to be 
as the sky exists to be blue. 
So hear me, 
but don't fear me 
for my words are not leery. 
My words are meant for the fallen 
whose sins have become weary. 
Like you l was bound until he set me free. 
For my cross was confessed 
to he who will forever be. 
Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, amen.
