I am dead

All of me

Anytime

Anywhere

Anything

No matter what the cost

I am dead

I am nothing

I have nothing.

No dreams, no passions, no vision, no plans, no career

No aspirations, no agendas, nothing.

I am dead.

I cannot give vision

I cannot give direction

I cannot love

I cannot serve

I am dead

I cannot lead

I have nothing to say

I have nothing to teach

I have no words of wisdom

I have no influence

I am dead

Given over to death

So that Christ may be revealed

Christ alone. His glory; Revealed.

I cannot be recognized

I cannot be honored

I cannot be given credit

I cannot be known

I am dead.

I have no honor.

I have no prestige

I have no reputation

I have nothing

I am dead.

Given over to death

So that Christ may be revealed

Christ alone.  His glory; Revealed.

I have asked for large things.

Kingdom things.

You have said NO.

You said you I would do great things, but I was not ready.

You were right.  You still are.

 I have nothing left…of mine.

But You….

Given over to death

So that Christ may be revealed

Christ alone.  His glory; Revealed.

All of me

Anytime

Anything

Anywhere

No matter what the cost….

Cost is irrelevant.

All is stripped away….

I have nothing.

Dead…yet alive

Christ revealed through death

Life through death

Life more abundantly…after death

I am dead.

Yet I live.

Not I, but Christ.

I am alive, only in Christ.

Resurrection

Given over to death

So that Christ may be revealed

Christ alone. His glory; Revealed.

Crucified with Christ

Buried with Christ

Risen with Christ

Given over to death

So that Christ may be revealed in me

Scared

Thrilled

Alive
