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
                         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 do 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
                 I  cherish more than Jesus
                 My greatest hidden lust.
 
                         To obey all He's commanded
                         To do all that He said
                         To place no confidence in the flesh
                         To glory in Christ Jesus
                         It's He who justifies
                         To find your life you must lose it
                         To live you must first 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 Saviour
                        And refuse Him as my Lord
                        If I could not love the outcast
                        And not burdened for the lost
                        If I fail to deny myself
                        And each day take up my cross .....
