Clarity on Charity

Jesus demonstrated love
To our Father above
And obeyed each and every law
Perfectly, He gave His all

Never was He haughty or puffed up with pride
As He loved, served, taught, and welcomed all by His side
He was genuine in each and every way
This is what we call charity today

The word charity
Is the pure love of Christ
It is our chance to be
Like Him in deed, with light

This light is of Him
It is our conscience
It helps us learn all things
And choose obedience

For as we choose what is wrong
We are filled with guilt
When we change it is not long
Till integrity is built

But we are free to choose
And know the pain of sin
The battle of the soul
Ever goes on within

We were spirit first
Before we took on flesh
Both hunger and thirst
As light and life mesh

The real battle is with pride
As we dismiss this light
We ignore what lies inside
And fabricate what is right

To feel Christ's love within
We must give of ourselves
That our better side wins
His light inside will help
