Sometimes,
alas,
I fail to give
the truth,
the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth
about him
who is the Truth.
I say, "He lives!",
then live as if
he's dead.
I say, "He saves!"
Then other words,
unkind or thoughtless,
or mean and selfish life,
declare he saves me not.
"Lord Jesus,
make my witness true
through and through
for you
each day!"
