If My Life CouldIf My Life CouldPreach a SermonPreach a Sermon

If my life could preach

a sermon,

what would that

sermon do?

Would it cause people

to fall in love with

you?

Or would it help

people to turn away

from finding grace

and mercy long the

way?

If my life could preach

a life to behold,

Would it be your

words that Id preach

so bold?

Or would I live a life

that turned people

cold

because they saw a

life that could notunfold

the beauty of what

you delight to be

told.?

Is my testimony rich in

the ways that I

preach?

Or will it come into

hearts that can be

reached?

If my life could preach

a sermon,

would this soldier be

determined

to have a character

that is as true

as the Christ that your

life disclosed to view?

Or would I be happy

doing what I can

to live out my life in

accordance to man

and live in a standard

that surely God can

hold me accountable

for because He

is the one setting that

standard for me?

If my lifes sermon

could save many souls

would they be

redeemed up until I

grew old

and I could no longer

preach that sermon?

Or,

8/1/2019 if my life

2/4

would I leave it here

on the earth to adore

so people will learn of

you and know you

more?

Would the life that

unfolds have this kind

of impact?

Or would my life say

that your teachings

are fact?

Would my life revealthat too many despair

because what I

preached, I did not

live or care

that someone was

listening to all that I

taught

but a product of

mercy is not what Ibrought

and the messages I

sent did not have true

light

because with them,

came no trace of you

in their sight?

I want to know thatthe sermon I live

will teach the souls of

mankind to forgive

and have a heart that

will be pure as gold

because my life

preached this

message til Im old.Would people say,

What more work

could be done

to work in our lives

parallel to The Son

and give Gods glory

such a place to abide

in vessels that His

presence did nothide.

I want to know what

my life says today

and want many more

to hear the things you

say.

This is my hearts cry

and what I do praythat you would shine

through me as bright

as a ray

so light would bring

many souls within

your reach

because people find

you in the sermon I

preach.
