The Living Who Is Alive

Being alive is not simply what we are,
for being alive means living and if living;
then alive!

To be alive is to know CHRIST JESUS is the LORD,
He gave His all upon a cross ( not built with wood or by hand);
for a simple sinner. You!

To be living is to be alive no matter what the test,
come what may but CHRIST, He doesn't delay;

Our flesh is only temporary,
it gives no contribution to being alive;
for even when your flesh is no more, 
alive and living you still are!

You cannot say, " I am alive and living ",
when you know not that you are betwixted self and sin;

It is the knowing who are living and the living who are alive,
and they are found in CHRIST; The Living Who Is ALive!
