Let Christ Live Through Me

As I work, side by side, with my non-Christian friends,
Let them see that this new life I do not pretend,
That there is something different in my actions, thoughts and ways,
And it is all because of those words that I prayed.

I asked Jesus to come on inside,
I want Him to be my directing guide,
Every moment I want to become more like Him,
Each day’s battle against Satan; I want to win,
I want people to see,
That I want Christ to live through me.

Let Christ live through me,
And let the whole world see,
That from the moment I accepted Him,
I was changed from within,
So now I let the things of my past life be,
Because I want Christ to live through me.

If I really have been changed, I should want to become more like Him,
Not as if I mumbled a ritual, then I’m back into sin,
If my life has been truly changed,
Then it should not be, as if I am a actor on a stage,
I know I am not what I should be,
But I know I am not what I once was,
And I want to tell you it’s all because,
I want Christ to live through me

When I let my light shine, I know he is pleased,
So when I see Him, He’ll say “well done” to me,
That’s why I no longer need earthly things to make me happy,
I want to be different, so people can see,
That I want Christ to live through me.

Let Christ live through me,
As I pass through trials and temptations into victory,
Let Christ live through me,
Till I meet Him again in eternity,
Let Christ live through me.
