Sacrificed For Life Poem by Michael P. Johnson

Armed with virtue passion and love
In hand our righteous sword
Fighting life’s fight ordained above
Through Christ our risen Lord

With weapons, darkness cannot deny
With hearts as virgin snow
Glory we’ll bring our God on high
Thriving above the foe

We’ll thrive while all around us fall
We’ll thrive because of Christ
Giving His strength to one and all
Who’s lives are sacrificed

Sacrificed unto servitude
To elevate our King
Offered for the multitude
God’s endless praise to sing

In love we live in love we die
With passion deep inside
Rising where eagles cannot fly
Beyond the great divide

Forsaking all for Heaven’s will
Receiving robes of white
We’ll stand where none can ever kill
Within the realm of Light

Because of truth and Christ God’s Son
Obedience and love
We’ll fight until with victory won
We’ll rise to reign above

Who can envisage glory’s throne?
Or Heaven’s climb endure
Only who’s heart is not of stone
Who’s soul The Lamb’s made pure
