I want to be a Christian
To walk to the lions as they had done
To see glory harvested in Christ the Son
I want to be a Christian
And not stumble when
I see death
But to take up life
With an eternal breath
I
want to be a Christian
Speaking on behalf of God's great voice
Telling
every ear that can hear
To
make Jesus Christ their choice
I want to be a Christian
Not in name only
Where darkness lurks
But from the acts of
The Spirit’s mighty works
For this is what a Christian is
I want to be a Christian
And
share the wine offered by the Lord
And
to welcome peace in laying down
The
sword
I want to be a Christian
Even though persecution
Is at hand
For those that believe
Will inherit the land
I want to be a Christian
Where
each step is taken on solid ground
While
the waves of turmoil are walls
All around
I want to be a Christian
With love for a brother
That my heart will have
As his hands on a spear
Into my side does jab
