Declaration for Christ

II Corinthians 3:3-5

Declaring Christ isn't in ink as is written,
Nor of stone tablets that could be broken;
Rather as with the Spirit of the living God,
And in fleshy hearts as we honor and laud;
Such trust have we in God through Christ,
An adequacy from God when He sacrificed.
With accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior,
We have a chance to change our behavior;
By the acceptance of Christ as our Lord,
Eternal life shall be given as our reward;
Your trust has reserved Christ's throne,
Space within your heart for your atone;
It's not written on paper you have inside,
No stone tablets etched in a mountainside;
A proclamation is engraved in your heart,
For you in spreading the Word to impart;
Your life complete with a renewed lease,
As you are filled with joy and inner peace;
Never try to hide your joy make it resound,
For the Spirit within to make other astound.
