if i...

if i speak, may i speak only the words of Jesus...full of grace and truth.
if i touch, may i only touch with gentleness.
if i walk, may i only walk in the footsteps of the One who has gone before me, leaving an example for me to follow in His steps.
if i see, may i see through eyes of compassion.
if i feel, may i feel deeply, to the deepest corners...and may it drive me to action.
if i receive, may i count it all as grace...all as a gift...and find a way to give it away.
if i live in prosperity, may it be prosperity in the eternal...things that only truly matter.
if i run, may it only be away from evil and toward the prize waiting for me in heaven.
if i fall, may i stay on my knees until i am lifted to see from a holy perspective.
if i am lifted up, may i only point others to the One who is above all.
if i die, may i only die to myself.
if i live, may i only live to Jesus.

for me to live is Christ...and to die is gain.
i count my life as nothing if i do not have Jesus...for apart from Him, i can do nothing.
i don't want to gain the whole world and lose my soul.
