The Beautiful Christian
Poetry
The beautiful Christian is not afraid to cry
is not afraid to fight and is not afraid to weep
The beautiful Christian is not afraid to learn
is not afraid to hurt and is not afraid to try
The beautiful Christian is not afraid to lead
is not afraid to fall and is not afraid to lean
The beautiful Christian is not afraid to love
is not afraid to laugh and is not afraid to revere
The beautiful Christian is not afraid to lift
is not afraid to catch and is not afraid to swim
The beautiful Christian goes higher in love
deeper in trust and wider in charity
The beautiful Christian goes beyond their limit
goes beyond their thoughts and beyond their ability
The beautiful Christian goes beyond their needs
beyond their wants and beyond their desire
The beautiful Christian care about the world
care about the community and care about their children
The beautiful Christian care about others besides themselves
care about life and care about struggles
The beautiful Christian isn't afraid to worship, to speak truth
and to love always. The beautiful Christian can be you or me
because Christ lives in us and that is what makes us beautiful at all
