What Good Am I

What good am I 
To a world that's in need
Of Jesus Christ
If in me, he they don't see
If I'm not willing to make
The sacrifice 
Lay down my life
What good am I

What good am I 
To a world that is lost
If I am not willing 
To pay the cost
To swim in the truth
That they need to find
In the river of life
What good am I

What good am I
To a world on its death bed
Do I bring it the comfort
On which to lay its head
Do I show them that Jesus
Is the way, truth, and life
If I don't show them with mine
Then what good am I

wow Mike! What a testimony of faith! Excellent way of showing we must lead by example so others can imitate our faith. "Faith without works is dead" this is a good reminder.A7
