Would You
If everything you've ever done were scene upon a screen
Each word that you did ever speak each thing that you have seen
Would you might choose a different course of life in which to live
A life consisting less of take and so much more of give
Would you be more observant of what God would have you see
Be much more like the Saviour as the Lord would have you be
Encouraging the faithful in their walk to be like Christ
Abandoning all worldliness to be a sacrifice
A sacrifice that's living everyday to be like Him
Through even voice inflections that effect the hearts of them
Maintaining your composure even when it's hard to do
So they might see reflection of the Saviour deep in you
And when you meet the fallen who have stumbled in the way
Would you prefer to stop and give them help to face their day
By loving gifts of charity or simply your embrace
To share with them the love of God that lives through you by grace
The same grace that's extended everyday to you in prayer
When you take time to meet with Him Who's always waiting there
Who likewise met His Father every morning everyday
To give Him His enlightenment in all He'd do and say
To give us an Example of what He would have us be
The chosen for His Kingdom that will live eternally
Because we were the channels of His love on earth below
Reflective of His character wherever we did go
Not for some hope of great reward for things that we had done
Or to escape the consequence for sin that killed God's Son
But simply out of charity that lived within our hearts
That flowed through acts of mercy springing from our inmost parts
For when one truly loves Him Who gave all that He could give
Then everything about them is important as they live
Concerned with what they put within this temple of the Lord
And what they place upon themselves with what they are adorned
That by our chased example by our love for all mankind
A brighter hope and future in our Saviour they might find
And more than hope a new found faith that is reality
Because of what they've seen of God lived out in you and me
