who, being in the form of God, did not consider it something to be held onto to be equal to God, but made himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
- phil. 2:6-8
this is my God, who says to me, take, eat, this is my body, and, this is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many.
i bring my broken life, mended
my fissured spirit, made whole
i bring the scarlet stains made clean
i bring my alabaster jar.
