Matter of time
Luke 9:23 New English Translation (NET Bible)
A Call to Discipleship
23 Then] he said to them all, “If anyone wants to become my follower, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me.
Matter of time: The World
“Pick up your cross and follow Me”
Where do you think you’re going?
We’re going to Calvary to be crucified
The world will do its job so get used to it
It won’t be happy until the knowing
That we have croaked and died
As long as you are with me, you know me in you
And your demise will bring great satisfaction
You will be made again the laughing stock
As they spit on you being the main attraction
Nothing new under the sun, things be like they were
Prepare for the battle with weapons of Love
You’ll be victorious with the ability to forgive
As you are empowered from within and above
Pick up your cross and it won’t be heavy
Someone will be with you all the Way
To share the heavy load and to encourage
And give you able strength for each day
