A Person of Life

When I first believed

and His life I received

The seed was sown into me.

Now this seed must grow

and this zoe life flow

As on to maturity.

Am I a person of life?

Do I experience life?

Does my living bear the issues of life?

Good trees bear good fruit;

Healthy plant

healthy root;

Oh Lord! The ground in my heart!

We know that life’s seed is growing indeed

When fruits of life are expressed

Such as virtues of joy

peace

faithfulness

love.

Does my daily life pass the test?

When these virtues show others surely will know

The beauty of life will shine

And the gospel word of life will be heard

Bringing many to know life divine!

Lord grant me today

a new start in this way.

A person of life I would be—

Just expressing You in all that I do.

Oh may this life flow out of me!
