We were lost
Till are found
We resisted
Till we surrender!

Giving up our dreams
Giving up ambitions
Giving up passions,
That we once had.

Dropping our wills
Dropping our strengths
Dropping aspirations
And all about us.

All our wealth and pride
All our fame and power
Idiosyncrasies and efforts
Vanity upon vanity!

We are broken and bound
We are not servants
We are heirs, as sons
We are bondsmen!

We have a heritage
We belong to a kingdom
Denying ourselves
We have a new identity!

We live in Love
Dead to ourselves
Living ONLY for Jesus
We are dead men!
