To Be A Christian Jonathan Pierce Mission
Chorus
To be a Christian
Is to bear another's load
To carry what they hold
When they can't walk another day
To be a Christian
Is holding out a hand
To help another stand
When everyone has turned away
To be a Christian
Is giving love away

Verse
They sat there all alone
Their mother almost gone
Their hope was passing with the time
Should I turn and walk away
Or hold their hand and simply say
I may not know your name
But I can find
In my heart to share your pain
In my prayers to speak your name
You're not alone

Verse 2
It isn't always understood
Through our words that God is good
But when we act with love
It says so much more
For there is something said of grace
When it's written on a face
That can touch a heart
It's never touched before
For to truly be like Christ
Is not really a sacrifice
He gave His life

Chorus 2
To be a Christian
Is holding out a hand
To help another stand
When everyone has turned away
To be a Christian
Is giving love away

Bridge
Wishing doesn't make
A heart stop hurting
And hoping doesn't stop
Someone from crying
For mercy flows so free
To those who will believe
Just take another look at me
