"THE 'FACE' OF CHRIST!"
© 1998 Patricia L. Carpenter
{Poem Book 4}
The Face of Christ shines brightly *
when He's ~ALIVE~ in us, *
Our faces can shine His GLORY *
when He 'rules' in us! *
Never 'boast' of what you've done *
or what you 'have' or what you 'are',
For the world will soon KNOW it
as your 'face' will tell how far. *
How far you let Christ 'rule' you *
& how far you'll surrender your life, *
Does your face reflect God's Glory
or does it reflect only 'strife'?
Our 'rebellion' tells the story *
& it's 'seen' all over our face,
So is our 'worry & fretting' *
when we're not 'looking' toward His Face! *
Our faces reflect our 'shame'
or our 'radiance' at what CHRIST has done, *
Have you 'come alive' in JESUS *
& let Him 'rule' your Throne? *
* Ps.18:28 & 80:19; 2 Cor.5:17; Lk.11:34-36;
