I need to live my life much higher, much higher than my former life. <br />To walk with Jesus is my desire, to walk each day like Jesus Christ. <br />And when I walk through the fire, to remember He was my sacrifice. <br />As at the time it was His desire, to pay for all men the ultimate price. <br /> <br />However, I must remember friend, the former life from where I came. <br />Back where God did condescend; saving me from my sin and shame. <br />With a Love, one can’t comprehend, and now my life is not the same. <br />And it’s His love that I recommend, and with my life, Christ I proclaim. <br /> <br />I need to be a witness every day, for Jesus Christ, who died for me, <br />And I need to walk that narrow way, so it is only Jesus men will see. <br />This as I choose the words I say, so men they may think on eternity. <br />As soon He’ll come without delay, returning in Power and Authority. <br /> <br />I’m saved by Grace from the night, with a message of light to herald. <br />Friend, now I am called to be a light, within a dark and gloomy world. <br />To boldly speak a Truth that’s right, even as men’s insults are hurled. <br />For soon all will see God’s might, when Christ’s Kingdom is unfurled. <br /> <br />My friend, the only thing sure in life, is that one day this life will end. <br />What is more than sound advice, is where in eternity will you spend? <br />If you desire to have Eternal Life, you need to know Christ my friend. <br />But if you choose to reject Christ, you alone shall stand condemned. <br /> <br />(Copyright ©01/2006)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/living-higher/
