Meet Me

Romans 6:6-7 — For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin — because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.

Let nothing

come between us, Lord.

Let nothing

take Your perch.

Sit enthroned

at the center

of my life —

that is the only place

You belong.

Though trouble surrounds me,

though evil pursues me,

the eye of this storm

is completely still

because You are here.

Meet me

at the executioner’s chair -

the cross given to me -

and raise me up

to new life with You.

Meet me

at the tomb of the old,

where self goes to die,

and call me out

to a new hope in You.

Amen.
