SO YOU WANT TO BE A CHRISTIAN

WELL, BEING A CHRISTIAN IS NOT WHAT YOU MIGHT THINK,
IT IS NOT FLOATING ON A CLOUD SIPPING A COOL DRINK,
IT IS NOT SHOUTING AND HOLLERING MAKING AN AWFUL STINK,
IT IS NOT LIVING A LIFE NO CONDITIONS TO KEEP,
IT IS NOT DANCING AND PRANCING ATTENTION TO SEEK,
IT IS NOT CRITICISING AND SLANDERING THOSE WHO ARE WEAK,
IT IS NOT WAILING AND POUNDING HOPING GOD TO AWAKE.

NO, IT IS FOR THE TIRED, THE WEARY AND INQUISITIVE TOO,
IT IS FOR THE LONELY, THE BROKEN AND ALL WHO CARE,
IT IS FOR THE POOR, THE RICH AND ONES WITH NONE TO SPARE,
IT IS FOR MEN FOR WOMEN, FOR CHILDREN, EVEN A BABY BARE,
IT IS FOR ALL RACES, EVEN THOSE IN FAR AWAY PLACES,
IT IS FOR THE BIG THE SMALL, THE SHORT, THE TALL,
IN FACT, IT IS FOR ALL.

SO WHAT IS A CHRISTIAN?  DOES THE WORLD KNOW?
WITH ALL THE CONTRADICTING THOUGHTS, THE ANSWER IS NO.
A CHRISTAN IS ONE SEEKING TO BE WHOLE,
THEY KNOW THEY ARE LACKING SOMETHING UNTOLD,
GOD'S SPIRIT IS DRAWING ALL TO SEEK, HIS LOVE TO KEEP,
HIS LOVE IS PATIENT, KIND, NOT ENVIOUS, BOASTFUL OR PROUD,
IT IS NOT SELF-SEEKING OR EASILY ANGERED, NO RECORD OF WRONGS,
LOVE DOES NOT DELIGHT IN EVIL BUT REJOICES WITH THE TRUTH,
IT ALWAYS PROTECTS, TRUSTS, HOPES AND PERSEVERES,
LOVE NEVER FAILS.

WELL ITS  EASY TO SEE, IT IS NOT EASY, A CHRISTIAN TO BE,
THE TRUTH IS IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR MAN, HIS EFFORT TO ACHIEVE,
THAT IS WHY GOD SENT JESUS, HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON
BORN OF A VIRGIN  IN A MOST HUMBLE WAY,
LIVING A SINLESS LIFE, DOING ALL THAT IS RIGHT,
JESUS SPOKE ONLY GOD'S WORDS, REVEALING HEAVEN AND HOW TO SEEK,
JESUS DIED TO PAY OUR DEBT, WHAT LOVE WHO CAN FATHOM,
IT DID NOT END THERE MANY WITNESSES DID SHARE,
FOR JESUS ROSE FROM THE GRAVE, HIS VICTORY TO SHARE,
IT IS BY HIS RISEN POWER, ALL WHO ASK ARE CHANGED,
NO IT WILL NOT BE EASY FROM TIME TO TIME,
BUT HAVE FAITH IN JESUS, HE WILL CARRY YOU THROUGH.
