You wear a crucifix around your neck <br />Is it in decoration or a sign of your true belief <br />As around my neck their lies nothing at all, <br />Because in my heart, lies the love that you cant see. <br /> <br />I proclaim my belief to no one but me <br />A desire stronger than your crucifix on a chain <br />And if I could wear that belief around my neck <br />I would proudly wear it, as my love I’d proclaim. <br /> <br />I wear my belief as if it lies around my neck <br />As proudly and strongly as any crucifix on a chain <br />And if it could be removed, forever it would stay <br />Then you would know that love would always remain. <br /> <br />Around my neck their lies nothing at all <br />In my heart their lies a need that cannot end <br />So while the World can see your crucifix on the chain, <br />Around my heart, there is that love ready to begin. <br /> <br />Around your neck lies a crucifix on a chain <br />Which can be removed anytime or at any day <br />It can be a decoration to adorn your looks, <br />Or it can be an idol so you can worship on or pray. <br /> <br />I look at my belief which hangs around my neck <br />Though it can be see and held only by me, <br />And proudly I hold it, and forever I will keep it <br />Because it is the only belief, that can set me free. <br /> <br /> <br />Randy L.
