God, we know that we don’t have what it takes
We know that we are fallen, sinful people
We know that even in our best moments we fail to meet your demands
So teach us more about your grace
Remind us again of what is at stake
Take our lives and accept our death
It is in the very act of dying that your grace abounds
Yet we can’t seem to bring ourselves to do it
So take our inability as our death
We know your way is good
Give us strength to die daily
Give us hope to see the eternal
Give us death so we can have true life
