Not Ashamed of Jesus

Not Ashamed of Jesus

I am not ashamed of Jesus
 Nor ashamed to call Him trustworthy Friend
 He has proven His Word is Truth 
 And in it I can depend
 He has shown me Love and Mercy
 Protection and His saving grace
 Provided the courage I needed
 For life's battles I had to face
 His love some say is unconditional
 But I say conditions sometime apply
 You may never know Jesus
 Unless He's the Apple of your eye
 You may journey with Jesus
 Yet never truly know Him it is true
 The walk mightn't get you life eternal
 But the " Knowing " and " Obeying " Him will
 His Ways ,Thoughts, His Desires are not yours nor mine
 We must follow Him by faith as we earthlings can be blind
 Many He calls but few He chooses
 And if the latter you are among 
 Consider yourself " Special "
 For you are a reflection of God's Holy Son
