Lenexa Christian Center = Love, Principles, Priorities And Deeds Poem by Tom Zart

Our love, principles, priorities and deeds illustrate
Just who and what we honestly are.
Do we strive to serve our Lord, brothers and sisters
Or do we take self-indulgence too far?

Do we pray to God for His wisdom, power and strength
Or do we believe the human brain resolves all?
Do we inspire others by our goodness and love
Or do we totally reject Heaven and God’s call?

The next time you stand before a mirror
Take a long straightforward look at yourself.
Do you live life’s trials by God’s Divine principles
Or do you seek the misgivings of desire and shelf?

I pray to God because I know He’s there
As He watches His children both good and bad.
When we chose to disbelieve we misstep and stumble
And our stories remain hopeless, tragic and sad.

We’re judged by our love, principles and priorities
Long after we’re dead, buried and gone.
It’s our deeds that impact the lives of others
Which cause our memory in hearts, to live on.
