To fill a cathedral or mall,
To serenade the rich
With the power of every pitch.
But I see you, Jesus, Lord,
Alone on Calvary,
Not in glamor this world affords,
Dying to set me free
That I, your glory may see.
I see you, Jesus,
Caring for the dying and poor.
I see you, Jesus,
With your sweet Spirit,
Knocking at their heart's living door.
I see you, Jesus,
Giving life to souls without hope.
I see you, Jesus,
Saving those vexed sore
Saying, "Follow me to Bright Shore."

DeleteBethany, what kind of Christian you prefer, what church you belong to? a Roman Catholic?
ReplyDeleteI'd say I prefer sincere Christians. I don't belong to any denomination.

I suppose. I just believe in Jesus and the Bible. And I think there are sincere Christians in just about every denomination.
