to be authentic in my witness - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Only what I know
how Christ has touched my life
speaking from the heart
the musings of my soul

To be authentic in my witness
speaking of God’s love
reaching down from heaven
lifting this sinner up

To be a light to the nations
needing to stoke the fire
cleaving to His scripture
God’s holy words of love

A message for me
speaking to my heart
giving me oil for my lamp
God provides the spark
