Receiving the Lord and Sharing His Word 1

I lovingly proclaim I am a Christian, This does not mean I am any more good, Than anyone else who I may meet or greet, Rather it means I know I've been fooled, I've been fooled into thinking that I, Had all the answers and knew the way, When I had not a clue about the road, And how I arrived there that day, For the world came crushing down, Leaving me with a soul full of hurt, And just when I felt there was no hope, I was given a precious copy of the word, And in that prison I lingered so long, That I read the Word and slowly grew, I found great promises and stories told, And slowly absorbed all that I could, And through this personal trial, I found myself convicted of the truth, And as I continued to study the Word, I felt the spirit overtake this fool, I was blind but now could see, The blessed gift I received, Placed me at the feet of my master, Knowing that the least of men was me, I found just how very much I was loved, By first believing and opening the door, Opening with a heart fully convicted, The Holy Spirit filled me to the core, But my trials did not end there, I had to learn to turn the other cheek, I had to care for the hopeless, And learn the lessons of the meek, But from seasoning by fire, Came a man humble who now knows, That this true disciple inspired, Would hold faith which always grows,
