Author: Carl P. Daw Jr. Hymnal: Voices Together #580 (2020) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Scripture: Mark 8:34 Lyrics: 1 To leave the stones unthrown,
to turn the other cheek,
to bear a load an extra mile,
to listen more than speak:
such are the marks of love,
the testaments of grace,
the daily glimpses of the cross
Christ calls us to embrace.
2 Not only in extremes,
in moments stark and clear,
in dark night wrestling grim and fierce,
or agony severe,
but in some faithful act,
some scarcely conscious choice,
we find the grace to hear and heed
the bidding of Christ's voice.
3 New crosses wait each day,
new challenges to meet,
new signposts for the way of life,
new marks of death's defeat:
yet, be they great or small,
unique or commonplace,
they help us look beyond ourselves
to see and know Christ's face. Topics: Discipleship; Jesus Christ Teachings of; Lent; Nonviolence; Sermon on the Mount Tune Title: MARIANNE
