ABANDON

Snippet

The Spirit does not take His pupils beyond the cross, but ever more deeply into it.

( J. Knox Chamblin  Paul and the Self: Apostolic Teaching for Personal Wholeness, Baker, 1993, p. 117.)

Scripture

As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man called Matthew, sitting in the tax collector’s booth; and He *said to him, “Follow Me!” And he got up and followed Him. Matthew 9:9 NASB

Live with Abandon newsboys

Chasing after this world makes me tired

Praising my own name leaves me dry

There's gotta be so much more to life than this

A higher calling that I missed

I want my life to count, every breath

I wanna live with abandon

Give You all that I am

Every part of my heart, Jesus

I place in Your hands

I wanna live with abandon

Give You all that I am

Every part of my heart, Jesus

I place in your hands

I wanna leave with abandon

Sentence Prayer

Jesus, Give us courage to confess your name: and go with you against the grain. Amen
