Heritage

I emptied myself completely
to make enough room for you.
Now I trust in you to guide me,
whatever you'll have me do.
I know you will make all the right choices,
as I lay my life in your hands.
Now my head is full of your voices,
and I'd better act on command.

Carrying out my duty
proud as a man can be,
shouldering this responsibility
knowing all people will not agree.
Surely they will in the future,
but now they won't be able to see,
and so they will make me a martyr
just like that man from Galilee.
