You do not have a body with a soul,
You are a soul encased in a body.
This body is weak. It is flawed. It will change, become damaged, eventually give everything then
Stop.
Where do we go when we have fallen? To whom do we turn when we cannot go on?

You don’t have a mind and a soul,
You have a soul limited by your mind.
This mind is weak. It is flawed. It will change, become damaged, eventually give everything then
Stop.
Where do we go when we have lost our way? From whom do we seek wisdom?

From the highest mountaintop to the lowest gorge,
In our joy and in our sorrow,
In the light and in the darkness;
Only God can save us now.

Through His grace He has gifted us a Savior,
We are told:
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
We are told:
He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.

Only God can save us now.
This body is weak. It is flawed. It will change, become damaged, eventually give everything then
Stop.
This mind is weak. It is flawed. It will change, become damaged, eventually give everything then
Stop.

And we are called.
Through Christ our soul rejoices.
Through Christ we find salvation.
Today and everyday we must take up His cross, we must take His yoke upon ourselves, we must remember and give honor.

Matthew 11:28-30
Titus 3:5-7
