What Jesus Means to Me
Jesus means a lot of crying
A lot of effort and self denying
He means turning my eyes away
And refusing things that might help me to stray
Jesus means going the extra mile
Whether or not I think it worth my while
He means that I have to be kind to others
My parents, friends, sisters and brothers
He is perfect, I am not
All He did was good, much of what I do rots
It means that I know I am always being watched
It means that my salvation was dearly bought
Jesus means, that my life is not my own
He means that I can't just hang up the phone
Jesus means a whole lot to me,
Trials, triumph, and responsibilities
Many people don't think that it is worth the effort
To follow Someone as hard as this
They chose to live their own lives, to go on and ignore
But at the end of times, who will get the rewards?
I have the promise of eternal life
Despite the sins of this world, despite my strife
Jesus has covered it all for me
I'd say it's worth the risk, wouldn't you agree?
Oh. Wow. That was just fantastic, Grace! You said it all!
ReplyDeleteWow! That is so great, Grace!
ReplyDeleteThanks. That poem had been forming in my mind for several days.
ReplyDeleteOh, don't you just love that feeling when something like a song, or a poem, or the next couple of paragraphs in a story is just bubbling for days and you FINALLY get it out? :)
ReplyDeleteYep. Especially when it all sounds great.
