What Christ Sees In Me


If I could have one job, 

And any job it could be,

I'd pick the job,

That allows me to be me,

That allows me to be what

Christ sees in me.

 

I want to be love,

I want to be hope,

I want to be above,

Above this slippery slope.

 

I don't have much,

Cash, talent, skill,

I lack the touch

To pay the bills.

 

What I do have,

I give in love, 

What I do have,

I give above.

 

I ask you please,

Give me the chance,

Let me be what

Christ sees in me.

 

To lead and love,

To teach and give,

To go above,

This life I live.

 

The path is long,

The lesson tough,

But I belong,

Need just enough,

 

To be what Christ sees in me.

Hey guys, I used to be an avid poetry writer and I'd love to get back into it. I'm also a student who is really trying to pull money together so I can go to Valley Forge Christian College and become a pastor, and hopefully one day be part of a movement to end intolerance and promote love and compassion.
