Show Me What It Means

You don’t want my perfection
All you ask of me is that I show up broken at your feet
You don’t want my religion
You are looking for devotion that is more than just routine

So show me what it means

To take up my cross and count it all as loss
All for the sake of knowing you
To love my enemies and care for those in need
Show me what it means to follow you

Have I become like the Pharisees
Passing by the needy while I am speking Jesus on my lips
Will I walk with you on raging seas
Or will I turn away when you want more than what I want to give

To love as you love
To live as you lived
To never give up on giving you my life
To love as you love
To live as you lived, to be alive!

So show me what it means

To take up my cross and count it all as loss
All for the sake of knowing you
To love my enemies and care for those in need
Show me what it means to follow you!
