You're willing to sacrifice our love
You want paradise
But someday you'll pay the price, I know

Sublimed by holy Love's ethereal fire,
On winged words our breathing thoughts may rise,
And soar to Heaven, a grateful sacrifice.

Sacrifice to God, not man.

EMPEROR CLAUDIUS I

attributed, Day's Collacon


Whatever it be ... judgment or feeling, that leads us to sacrifice one thing for another, or prefer one before another, decision and perseverance are in my opinion the most praiseworthy qualities in human beings. We cannot buy goods and have our money too, and the man who longs for the wares but has not the heart to sacrifice his money, is as badly off as he who repents his purchase when it is already in his hands.

Sacrifice your security
Sell your identity, integrity
Give till it hurts, give some more, give it all away
Sacrifice yourself

I think about Jesus and all that he gave
And the ultimate sacrifice that he made
He is my strength and my guiding light
And he's taught me that nothing's without sacrifice
