Could I be called a Christian

If everybody knew

The secret thoughts and feelings

Of everything I do

Could they see the likeness

Of Christ in me each day

Or could they hear him speaking

In every word I say

Could I be called a Christian

If my faith I did not show

If I did not go to places

Where the Lord would have me go

If I do not love His truth

If I do not guard His trust

If I cherish more than Jesus

My greatest hidden lust

To obey all He's commanded

To do all that He said

To be his true disciple

To place no confidence in the flesh

To glory in Christ Jesus

It's He who justifies

How to find your life you must lose it

To live you first must die

Let every man examine his own life

Could I be called a Christian

Could I be called a Christian

And believe not his Holy Word

If I take Him as my Savior

And then refuse Him as my Lord

If I could not love the outcast

And am not burdened for the lost

If I fail the deny myself

And each day take up my cross

To obey all He's commanded

To do all that He said

To be his true disciple

To place no confidence in my flesh

To glory in Christ Jesus

For it's He who justifies

How to find your life you must lose it

To live you first must die

Let every man examine his own life

How to find your life you lose it

To live you first must die

Let every man examine his own life

Could I be called a Christian

Could I be called a Christian

Oh could I

If I refuse Him as the Lord

Tell me could I

If I do not guard the truth

If I do not guard the trust

If everybody knew

If everybody knew

Could I be called

If I love more than Jesus

If I deny myself

If I take up my cross

Then could I

Then could I be called a Christian
