I am now a Disciple, for I answered the call
of my Lord, my God, my Savior,  my All.

I willingly turn my back on my past,
forgiving and loving from the first to the last.

I listen and follow as I worship and pray,
and He gives me power for every new day.

He teaches, He heals and He sets people free.
O Lord, you do all of that saving me!

I wonder and muse, now that I am that woman or man,
who lives in the Kingdom that is now at hand,

That I cast out demons, that I lay on my hands,
that the sick really recover by God’s Holy Plan;

I live in the Hope that was given to me,
when He carried the Cross, when He hung on the Tree.

He poured out His Blood, I couldn’t ask any more.
He showed me the Way, He opened the Door.

It was my choice alone, and I chose to walk in,
not to stand on the outside with scoffers who grin.

For I saw the Light of the Empty Tomb shine
on Christ in God’s Glory for eternal time.

God did what He did:  He rolled back the Stone,
so I live without doubt, so I am never alone.

I now do as Christ does, setting all others free,
for the Lord now lives in me…

And He is all that I need.

It isn’t what we do; it isn’t what we don’t do.
It isn’t what we say; it isn’t what we don’t say.

It isn’t what we read; it isn’t what we don’t read.
It isn’t what we write; it isn’t what we don’t write.

It isn’t what we sing; it isn’t what we don’t sing.
It isn’t what we wear; it isn’t what we don’t wear.

It isn’t what we eat; it isn’t what we don’t eat.
It isn’t what we drink; it isn’t what we don’t drink.

It isn’t how we work; it isn’t how we don’t work.
It isn’t how we play; it isn’t how we don’t play.

It isn’t how we serve; it isn’t how we don’t serve.
It isn’t how we pray; it isn’t how we don’t pray.

It isn’t where we go; it isn’t where we don’t go.
It isn’t where we worship; it isn’t where we don’t worship.

The Power of the Cross
is not a what, a where, or a how.

It is Who:
Who we believe, Who we follow, Who we worship.

 It is Jesus…
Only and Always Jesus.
