Checking the Box

I wake up each day With the best of intentions So get out of my way Because I'm a Christian The first thing I do Is pray of course And with that out of the way I check off the box Head down to the kitchen To put coffee on Then search for my bible Now where could it have gone Right where I last set it I read chapter and verse I then close it up And check off the box Get myself dressed In my best conservativness Making sure not to forget The cross around my neck Wanting the world to know I'm saved and not lost In case my actions don't show As I check off the box I step out the door All about the Lord's business Looking for unsuspecting souls To which I can witness It's what I've got to do Like it or not And as soon as I'm through I check off the box I pray before meals Thankful what's set before me And thankful for not Being like the sinners I see With their salvation plan I wish them good luck Not like they haven't been warned As I check off the box With another satisfying day Under my belt Along the way I heard someone say They had Jesus in their heart Which got me to thinking A lot of meaningful thoughts But in the meantime I'll just check off the box I wonder how many of us in our Christian walk just check off the box out of duty. It's time we took Jesus out of the box and put him into our hearts....
