A Choice To Remember

A Choice To Remember

by Patricia A. Pitterle

My head is bowed,

My heart is full,

My thoughts are turned to thee.

The bread is passed

Thy body spent

Thy life thou gave for me.

Then we drink 

The water clear

Thy blood for us was given

That we, through love

And mercy's gift

Might come again to heaven.

I have sinned again

I am not pure

What once was white is red.

But Jesus gave 

His life for me

And suffered as He pled.

He asked that justice 

might be served

Even though, through life we sin.

The law of mercy filled

Through loving sacrifice,

A second chance was freely given.

A chance to become

As He once lived,

A chance to walk His Ways.

A chance to learn

To know His Grace

As we follow Him each day.

We choose to remember
His blessings,

and to walk His way in Love.

We have a choice to change

A chance to choose

Our sins to be free of.

He loves us
in our weakness,

He leads us in His ways.

He asks us 

to live as he did

In all we do and say.
