The Christian Poet

The hope of a Christian poet,
Is not a perfect line,
Not written to impress,
But so God's love can shine.

The inspiration of a Christian poet,
Should be from God above,
Not just an artistic phrase,
But so you can share His love.

The dreams of a Christian poet,
Is not for a winners grin,
Not so you can be the best,
But so God can change within.

The words of a Christian poet,
Should be flavored with God's grace,
Not centered on themselves,
But so we can know our place.

The teaching of a Christian poet,
Is not so they can pass a course,
Not so we can dwell on sin,
But so we learn He's our life's source

The life of a Christian poet,
Should be more than fancy talk,
Not just a performing show,
But in how they daily walk.
