So You Say

So You Say By Franklin Price 12/1/2015 So you say you are a Christian You believe and praise the Lord Tell of all his teachings And with him are one accord Spread his word to others Tell of his sacrifice Think the telling of the happening Should more than just suffice Do you turn your face from suffering? Keep more than what you need? Ignore the poor and hungry? Put down the one's who don't succeed? Are you selfish with your earnings? Keep everything yourself? Put all of what you've gathered, Out of reach upon a shelf? Doesn't seem that you're a Christian To spread the word and not the deed If there are extras on the shelf There are other mouths to feed There other people hurting That could use a hand from you If you believe you are a Christian That is something you should do Jesus walked and talked the lesson Better to give than to receive Do you feel a little guilty, Want your conscience to relieve? Then give a little of yourself Your money and your time You'll be the Christian you believe Being Christian's not a crime.
