Not I, but Christ

Not I, but Christ, in every thought and word.

Not I, but Christ, in every look and action,
Not I, but Christ, in every thought and word.

Not I, but Christ, to wipe the falling tear;
Not I, but Christ, to lift the weary burden,
Not I, but Christ, to hush away all fear.

Christ, only Christ, no self important bearing,
Christ, only Christ, no trace of “I” is found.

Christ, only Christ, for body, soul, and spirit,
Christ, only Christ, here and eternally.
