Hat tip to Crazy Rich Asians.
“The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again.
John 10:17-18
No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord.
I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again.
This command I received from my Father.”
When we are triggered by fright
The safest reaction is flight
Knowing our place is the way
We survive til the next day
But if we ever dare thrive
We need to harness the drive
To fight for a place in the world
Winning with banners unfurled
Yet there’s a more glorious path
Than crushing our foes with our wrath:
Bringing them into the light
By losing to show Christ is right
Today I will bank my flames
So others are warmed by Christ—
