TO FIND

What would you find?

If you looked at my heart

A beating mass of life’s blood

Or kindness and compassion

What would you find?

If you could see my mind

A grey group of nerves

Or the thoughts of Christ

What would you find?

If my money was on display

Self always first in my life

Or the Kingdoms work

What would you find?

If visiting my home unseen

Am I the same in private?

As I am in the churches walls

What would you find?

If coming to my job to listen

Do you hear the world speak?

Or Christ preached with love

What would you find?

If you joined me in my church

Do hypocrites enjoy prominence?

Or is humility always on display

What would you find?

If looking at pages of my Bible

Are they new, pristine, and clean?

Or time-worn dog-eared and ruffled

What would you find?

If you looked to me for Christ

Searching for the fruits of my life

Do I preach Jesus without words?

What would you find?

If standing before a sovereign

A king to give eternities judgment

When the book of life is opened

What would you find?
