Day 18
The Fellowship of His
Suffering
We would own your cause
We would shout Your name
We would never pause
As Christ we proclaim
We must fight the fight
Then, If we would reign.
And To light the light
We become the flame
Comfort pleasure ease
Power pride and fame
On such things as these
We can lay no claim
We release our grip
On our humble offering
In the fellowship
Of his suffering.
This world is no friend to
grace
To wish us Godspeed in the race.
As onward toward the mark we press
Until in Christ we take
our rest.
In this place of grace
In all things we share
As we seek His face
We must serve and care
For His mercies sake
‘Neath His
shelt’ring wing
In the fellowship
Of His suffering
