May I Never Boast (John Michael Talbot)

May I never boast of anything
Save the cross of the Lord
The cross of Jesus Christ
Through it the world has been crucified to me
And I to the life of the world
Through the cross of Jesus Christ

Refrain:

All that matters now is one created anew
Peace and mercy on all
Who follow this rule of life
The Israel of God

Henceforth let no man trouble me
For I bear the marks of the Lord
The marks of Jesus Christ

(Refrain)

May I never boat of anything
Save the cross of the Lord

Composer: John Michael Talbot (b. 1954)
