Being An Example For Christ

Being An Example For Christ…

Please don’t ever use or take in vain…
The beauty we find in 
Christ’ holy name!

Let’s be his example!  
And not bring him shame!
Knowing that it was for us all, 
our savior came!

May we all be careful in 
what we’ll say…
And seek to honor our lord every day!

Let’s be HIS example.  
A light shining bright!
Being a testimony for him 
each day and night!

Let’s speak goodness and love
 to Christ our lord.
Bringing dishonor to him…  
We can’t afford!

Christ gives to us that which is 
wholesome and good!
Let’s give him our best!  
We really should!
