" Will I Tell Them "

Sharing our faith

The conversation carried on for hours

As we covered all the current events,

My heart open to sports, and world powers,

But on the subject of faith it relents.

 

So many instances throughout each day

To impart this good news which I carry,

But words get tongue tied or changed on the way

Still of peoples responses I'm wary.

 

Self centered witness I truly must be

For my hearts greatest concerns always self,

Knowing the one who can set people free

And then storing Him on a prideful shelf.

 

If I had the knowledge for cancer's cure

I'm sure compassion would cause me to share,

But I have the gospel, heaven secure

Though are the people around me aware?

 

Will loved ones be here to face tomorrow

My acquaintances, family, and friends,

What happens when the call comes in sorrow

And opportunity to witness ends?

 

Now clearly there's no time like the present

For conveying truths that have not been said,

Overcoming my fears isn't pleasant

Though I'll have peace when I lay down my head.

wow! this is absoluetly amazing and so very true. you dont know when you passed up the chance one too many times. witnessing is something many people are afraid to do..yet we claim to be christians? i would love to see all my brothers and sisters through Christ in Heaven. so why are we so afraid to save them?
i love how you compared it to the cure for cancer

people are always looking for that.
but we HAVE something right HERE that saves EVERYONE.

why dont we all realize it?

you did an EXCELLENT job on this. =] i love it.
