What have I done for the cause of Christ
That I have not done more for myself?
My highest Highs and lowest lows
Do they themselves point towards him?
Or am I living only within my hedonist self?
I speak of balance, but what is the beam?
The problem I see is that the word of God
Often merely haunts my dreams
I want feet from my fears
And to feel the pain from my blessings
That is the life
Of those who truly follow Christ
If I give my only credence
To my selfish desires
My life, my offering...
Can never produce Christ's holy fires
Surrender is sweet, and God is on high
So much better the pains
Than in death where we lie
