How is it I lay down
my life for my friend
to be free to be real
to no longer pretend
to hold her soul
more dear then my own
to prove to myself
i truly have grown
to place her dreams
to the head of the line
supporting her goals
as though they were mine
help me dear Lord
to give up my throne
to stop feeding my flesh
to want for my own
break me and make me
the friend I should be
shape and chisel till
YOUR LIFES formed in me
1 John 3:16 (King James Version)
Hereby perceive we the love of God,
because he laid down his life for us:
and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
