The Love You Gave
If I Had To Live …
If I had to live just on the love
you’ve given to me…
Where would I be spending eternity?
If I had to live on the time
we’ve spent together…
Am I someone you’d want to be with forever???
If I have an ambition. A dream. Or a vision…
Would you care? And stop by to listen?
If I have a heartache. Or a burden to share…
Are you someone, who’d stop by and care?
If I need someone to be Christ’ example…
Could you give me some of his love? Even a sample?
If I had to spend my life all over again…
Are you someone that I could call; “friend?”
If I came to your church
this Sunday morning…
Would you welcome me?
Or give others a “warning?”
If I were to ask for a few minutes
of your time today…
Would you do it? Or tell me “to go away?”
If you could sit down and think
about what I’m saying…
Perhaps the Holy Spirit would
compel you to start praying…
Praying for a compassion in reaching
those who surround you.
The many lost souls you know
just may astound you!
The message of God’s grace
needs to be daily expressed…
That through your living for Christ…
Others may be blessed!
