Sacrifice

'Deny one's self? Such sacrifice!'
He said in jest,'too great a price,
For who should ask this of someone
Who has it all when day is done?'

'Not me,' he said, 'I have no need,
To sacrifice, forego a deed
Of pleasure for myself or mine,
To say, Lord not my will, but thine!'

'Absurd! to think that He'd require,
A man like me to walk in mire
Renowned & polished, debonair!
No, sacrifice would not be fair!'

Yet in the midst of this rebut,
A sharp reminder, yes a cut-
Deep to the heart, right to the soul,
'The price it takes to make one whole!'

The One who loves the greatest still,
Denied himself on Calvary's hill
And if you know His life at all,you will
Be blessed to heed this call -

Sacrifice!
