Receiving the Lord and Sharing His Word 4

You are what the Lord wants most, Forget your past sins and start anew, Remember that Grace is forgiveness, And your faith in His grace will save you, Good fruit will naturally flow, Once the Lord has you upon the path, And all of the seeds of faith you sow, Will give others what you now have, Your life will be filled with the light, And this is the thing we must all share, For in knowing we are wretches saved, You can help others to be spared, Once you find yourself on the path, And temptation bothers you no more, There is more work to do in your mission, Until brotherly kindness becomes yours, And there are gifts so glorious, Which come to those sanctified, Those practiced in the faithful walk, To be used so the Lord is glorified, But life gets us so caught up, We may be saved but we may forget to play our part, Forgetting reasons we have been given these gifts, For we should always shine with all the love in our hearts. We need to each be a road to the Lord's path, We need to each always glorify our Lord, We need to remember that being Christian, Means we should be rejoicing in our reward, For being Chirstian, doesn't mean, That I am better than anyone else, It only means that I find I stumble, And I need the Lord's blessed help, Finding the Lord did not make me, A better man than anyone I know, Rather it has made me understand, How what I've done brought me low, Receiving the Lord and sharing his word, This is just a natural reaction, One minute I am a man trapped by his sin, And then a glorious thing happened, I was forgiven all of my trespasses, I then felt the rush of the spirit, And then came a whisper so quiet, So quiet, you could hardly hear it, It told me the price of this gift, Was to follow where it would guide, To simply live a life of love, And by the commandments abide.
