I Was Born To Serve Him

I Was Born...  To Serve HIM!
 
I was born...  So that 
others may live...
Sharing with people of 
God's power to forgive!
 
I was born...  To help others to see...
A Christ who came.  
To set men free!
 
I was born...  To be God's holy vessel…
To be used by him... 
 Being his "utensil."
 
I was born...  To point others
 in a Godly direction…
Sharing with others Christ' power
 and resurrection!
 
I was born...  To one day 
write this poem.
And to be a Godly leader of 
my family and home.
 
I was born...  To one day
 meet Jesus in the sky.
It could be this very hour.  
Or after I shall die...
 
I was born...  so that people
 like you would know.
Of a savior's salvation.  
How he loves you so!
 
You were born... To give 
God thanks and praise!  
Why not serve him... 
 The rest of your days???
