THE PERFECT CHURCH
If you could find the perfect church
without one fault or smear
For goodness sake, don't join that church
You would spoil the atmosphere.
But since no perfect church exists
Where people never sin
Let us cease looking for that church
And love the one we're in
I AM THE BIBLE
I am God's Wonderful Library.
I am always - and above all -
The Truth.
To the weary pilgrim,
I am a Good Strong Staff.
To the one who sits in black gloom,
I am Glorious Light.
To those who stoop beneath heavy burdens,
I am Sweet Rest.
To him who has lost his way,
I am a Safe Guide.
To those who have been hurt,
I am Healing Balm.
To the discouraged, I whisper
A glad Message of Hope.
To those who are distressed by the storms of life,
I am an Anchor ... sure
and steadfast.
To those who suffer in lonely solitude,
I am as a cool, Soft Hand,
Resting
on a fevered brow.
Oh, child of man, to best defend Me,
Just use Me!
I AM A CHRISTIAN
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting, "I'm clean livin."
I'm whispering, I was lost,"
Now I'm found and forgiven
When I say... "I am a Christian
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
And need CHRIST to be my guide
When I say... "I am a Christian
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And need HIS strength to carry on.
When I say... "I am a Christian
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.
When I say... "I am a Christian
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far toovisible
But, God believes I am worth it.
When I say... "I am a Christian
I still feel the sting of pain,
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name
When I say... "I am a Christian
Im not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace, somehow
