You say that you believe in God Claim you know how and always pray But when you’re asked what you believe What is it that you say? Have you asked Him on your knees To help you in the past? But when listing your priorities Does He always end up last? It’s not enough to worship him In privacy on your knees Or once a week on Sundays In church for all to see If you believe He died for you Then praise His Name out loud! Don’t be afraid to claim His love Because you’re in a crowd!! Everyone who meets you Should know you love the Lord To leave the world with any doubt Is a risk you can’t afford!! Jesus cared enough to die for you He paid the debt you owe The very least that we can do Is be proud and let it show!! How many chances have there been That we have just let slide To tell another about Jesus How He suffered so then died? Could our words have made a difference? Shown someone else the way to go? If the choice we made was silence, well Then we will never know !! Christ said to spread the Gospel Not keep it under wraps! Are we afraid of being teased? Of controversy or causing flaps? Jesus did a lot of that While He was here on earth! What we do now will prove to Him How much His sacrifice was worth! Don’t keep your faith all covered up Let it shine with each new day You’ll never know how many souls Are saved by what you do and say! But the Father up in heaven Always has it written out Each chance used or wasted Is recorded….have no doubt! And when each life is examined Most of us will face close calls! When asked how often did you speak for Him? What if the answer is “Not at all?” Not one of us is perfect We’ve all done things we’d rather hide But when it’s my turn I hope to say “Lord, I did my best….I tried!!” So if you spend your life denying Him Fearing ridicule or shame? Don’t be surprised if on that day He doesn’t recognize YOUR name!! Dusty Richardson APRIL 2005 |
