Ambassador in Chains

Tear me down.
Whittle me away
until all that remains
is an ambassador in chains.

The life that I live is not my own.
The place I reside is not my home.
The sun in the sky is not my light.
The darkness that falls is not my night

I live to glorify and praise
the Lord on high. I walk by Your grace.
I seek Your face. It is my guide.
Surrounded by love is where I abide.

I stretch out my hands and lay down my life.
I surrender my weakness, exchanged for Your might.
I die to desires to live in Your truth.
I take up my cross and follow You.

So tear me down.
Whittle me away
until all that remains
is an ambassador in chains.
