In Christ

In Christ, you can
Feel joy so deep
Your heart expands
What was asleep

Repent. Right wrongs.
In sin, one's sick
You'll be made strong
And your mind quick

From God's word, read,
Ponder, and pray
Your eyes will see
Beyond today

You may fall low
Confused, afraid
As burdens grow
Endure.  Have faith.

Blessings increase
And doors open
As you spread peace
One can hope in!

Comfort will come
Like an embrace
Love will blossom
As you give thanks

Peace will pour out
Like light aglow
As good you scout
You'll lift and grow

Yes, men and women who turn their lives over to God will discover that He can make a lot more out of their lives than they can. He will deepen their joys, expand their vision, quicken their minds, strengthen their muscles, lift their spirits, multiply their blessings, increase their opportunities, comfort their souls, raise up friends, and pour out peace. Whoever will lose his life in the service of God will find eternal life.
