The Christian Life Experience

Living our lives in this world
means overcoming trouble and strife
hardship and pain come our way
which at times means using the knife

God comes to us with His offer
an offer to live life to the full
but that fullness comes rejecting self
giving God His place as our tool

This Christian life is our experience
lived out among the world's glare
showing Jesus as our supreme Lord
following Him as our brother and fellow heir

It's not an idea to pore over
analysing it to our heart's content
it's far too important for that
God sending Jesus was heavenly meant

So live for Jesus with all your heart
praise God for all that He's done
pouring your heart into all of life
knowing Jesus truly as God's Son

(Quote:)
" The Christian life is an experience to be lived, not an idea to be analysed" - Augustine (354-430)
