Then he said to the crowd, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross daily, and follow me” (Luke 9:23; NLT).
I love you, Lord,
Through thick and thin.
I want to serve,
And not to sin;
To turn away
From selfishness,
And comfort others
In distress;
To follow daily,
Bear my cross,
And trust in you
Through gain and loss:
For you’re my Lord,
My God, my Light;
My Bread, my Way,
My Truth, my Life.
Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6; NLT).
