ARE THEY CHRISTIANS?

 

Loving on great-grandmother - Oma-Oma

Will they know it by our music,

stunning churches that we build?

Will they know it by the numbers

of the padded pews, all filled?

Will they know it by the teaching

or the reading of God's Word?

Will they know it by long prayers

or deep conversations heard?

Will they know it by the preacher

and his speech proficiency,

or by widespread modern methods

that impress both you and me?

Will they know it by our actions,

as we always do 'what's right',

or by fierce defending of our views

as we stand for our faith and fight?

Will they know it by the programs,

or the outreach that we do?

NO NO NO
~ they will only know for certain

if they're watching me and you.

YES
~ they will know that we are Christians

by the LOVE we show each other

as we let Christ live within us

as I honor friend and brother!

They will see that God's anointing

changes lives before their eyes.

When they see Christ's love in action

they'll believe and realize

Jesus Christ does make the difference!

We have found the ONE they need!

It's been said that for some people,

We're the Bible that they read.
