Real Christianity
What difference does it make my friend in how you do your hair
And does it mean salvation in the clothing that you wear
And is your soul dependent on the time and what you eat
Are all these things a witness to the people that you meet
That truly make a difference in the way they see your God
To make them want the faith you have or do they see as odd
The way you are peculiar in your legal attitude
That sometimes comes off not so nice and sometimes even rood
For really is it how you wear your outside that is seen
The most important feature that reveals if you are clean
From sin and its defilement based on pride and self-deceit
Or is it what they see in you that touches those you meet
Through words that leave your heart that show you hear the things they say
That seek to bring them comfort as they struggle in the way
Of life that they are traveling as they are searching for
The answers to the questions others just seem to ignore
And is it in your actions that they see what's in your soul
Your willingness to suffer if your pain might make them whole
To go that extra measure that in you they just might see
A glimpse of Him Who gave His all for them on Calvary
That resonates with glory in the good things that you do
Not for some recognition but because Christ lives in you
From all the time you spend with Him in study and in prayer
That speaks of how you love Him as you take Him everywhere
The way Christ took the Father to the people as He shared
Through words and through His actions just how much the Father cares
For all of our humanity from poverty to kings
As Christ showed His compassion for their souls not worldly things
And that as our Example if we choose to be like Him
Not being like the Pharisees or other folks like them
Who think what's on the outside makes them better than the rest
Who don't see their example as the only litmus test
That shows if we are truly what we think and claim to be
One with our God and Father He Who rules eternity
And rules the very motives that our words and acts reveal
To touch the lives of others with the power of love that's real
John 17:1-10; Romans 13:8; 1 John 4:7-11
