True Christianity
The way we view the future lies in how we see the past
And how we do respond to how the die in life are cast
As each event can mold us and the virtue we might lose
Or can be simply building blocks upon which we might choose
To build a reputation as a follower of God
By how we overcome through Him to walk the path we trod
Not looking back though tempted often by the folks we know
But always looking forward to where Christ would have us go
And sharing how His victory is found not in the pain
Of constantly repeating failure often and again
But in the way we seek His presence each and every day
And let Him be the One Who's glory fills the things we say
As we seek those who'll listen with the most attentive ear
To learn the Truth and not just ponder all the things they hear
By studying and asking questions as we all should do
When starting out a new adventure God will bring us to
For God is never startled by the things that come our way
He's never caught in our confusion when He hears us pray
For He knows all things when they happen as they have before
And He has every need provided we are looking for
That will make us the stronger not just for ourselves alone
But for the ones to whom He'll bring us where His seed is sown
That we might help Him bring to harvest fruit His Word will bear
By all the words of our compassion that reveal we care
Because we've been where they've been also and we've found the Way
That God through Jesus has provided for that glorious day
When at His coming Christ will see us as His precious own
Whom He's ordained to live forever with Him on His throne
Because we did not let the devil use the things we've done
To be a tool with which to tear us from God's precious Son
But used instead that meant for evil as a tool instead
To reach another steeped in sorrow to lift up their head
And seek the One through prayer and study Who's prepared a Home
Where those once caught in sin and sorrow will need never roam
As they will have a bond with Jesus perfect strong and true
Because when tempted they surrendered just as Christ would do
John 1:1-12; Luke 8:1-2; Mark 14:3-9
