There are many who claim Christianity
Every Sunday… church they will attend
The body gives a Christian performance
Yet the heart has the need to make amends
A Christian heart… should bear witness to the soul
Should be filled with compassion and love
Should be guided by God’s holy word
Should be a blessing sent from above
A Christian heart… should never be prideful
Should not seek to condemn everyone else
Should not gossip; speak unkindly of others
Should not need to stroke the ego of oneself
A Christian heart…must be true in its intention
Scripture and duty do not make a heart “true”
One must listen to the hearts gentle whisper
Asking oneself; “What would Jesus do?”
Beware of “practicing” Christianity
Practicing… but not letting God take hold
Not allowing the Christian heart to prosper
Thus not allowing… God’s grace to unfold
