Alive in Christ
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
I want you to know,
How great a struggle;
That I have to show,
You worldly juggle.
All who have not seen,
To be encouraged;
And all that has been,
Be not discouraged.
To reach all the wealth,
Of full assurance;
Your spiritual health,
That gives endurance.
Understand knowledge,
Of the mystery;
In Christ acknowledge,
To know history.
In whom are hidden,
Treasures of wisdom;
Once was forbidden,
About His Kingdom.
I say in order,
No one may delude;
Causing disorder,
Trying to elude.
Some may beguile,
With enticing words;
Of a lifestyle,
With earthly hazards.
Though I am absent,
I live in spirit;
Being obeisant,
In all my merit.
I rejoice for good,
Faith in being firm;
Doing as Christ should,
Living the long term.
Christ Jesus is Lord,
So go walk with Him;
Be in one accord,
And never feel grim.
