Love and Life, always the same.

It's been this way, never to change.

Do you want to live? 

Do you want to die? 

For your plan is already made.

 

Look to the skies, my dear friends.

What do you see?

Stars surrounded by darkness?

Think more clearly.

Look past the world, and you will see.

 

Someone is gazing down on you.

The one who created your plan.

All of the expectations,

They are high and grand.

And soon you will know, what you must be.

 

He said to you and I,

Take up your cross and follow me. 

To some this seems easy.

But once you look past your stars,

The challenge is not so easy.

 

Jesus asks you,

Will you take up your cross and

Follow me
