And we, as they, as the Lord, find the strength to lay down our lives in service of one another by being as our Jesus, who was \\u201cfully aware that the Father had put everything in His power and that He had come from God and was returning to Him.\\u201d\\xa0 Any power that any have comes only from the Father, and comes only through the Son, and is known only in His Blood \\u2013 which all must share, by which all must be anointed, if we are to be preserved until the coming of the Christ again into this world of darkness. \\xa0 Writen, read & chanted by James Kurt; produced by Carie Fortney. \\xa0 Music by Carie Fortney; used by permission. \\xa0 ******* O LORD, let us be washed clean in the blood of your Son, and so protected from all harm; let us live in His New Covenant, eating His Body and drinking His Blood.\\xa0 YHWH, as your Son has laid down His life, the innocent Lamb sacrificed for our sins; as He has bowed down to wash our feet that we might be made clean and have inheritance with Him; so let us be humble and serve one another in His Name.\\xa0 Let His blood be upon us to save us from condemnation \\u2013 let us die with Him that we might live again. In His feast let us partake, of His very Body and Blood.\\xa0 At His table let us sit, His disciples ready to follow Him.\\xa0 Indeed, even as we eat let us be prepared to go out and serve, to step from the table where we have been nourished and into the way of the Cross.\\xa0 Far from Egypt we would be taken, LORD, far from all our sin; and others we would see follow Him in the path to the kingdom. He has died that we might live \\u2013 O LORD, let us be His children!'
