To Be a Christian

To stand before a crowd
-just to die at their hands
To speak Your words out loud
-when no one understands

To show no outward fear
-when I'm quaking inside
To stand firm in the face of demons
-when I really want to cry

To be weak and humble
-so that I might inherit the earth
And be a silent testimony
-For the Son of God and earth

To show Your love
-in all that I say and do
To be stalwart an steady
-when I have everything to lose

To treat with love and kindness
-those who have hurt me the most
To be humble and silent
-when I really want to boast

TO be an outward reflection
-of everything You are inside
To be humble and meek
-and learn to hide my pride

 Maybe I'm your worst servant
-but I'll do what I can with love
Because You loved me first
-And came down from above

To be at peace inside
-and be a testament to You
To be mocked at every turn
-so that I can be like you

To see eternity in an instant
-and an instant in your truth
To testify to the world
-that at last I've found love with you
