Could I Be Called a Christian

Could I be called a Christian if everybody knew The secret thoughts and feelin's of everything I do Would 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 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 be all He's commanded To do all that He said To be His true disciple And place no confidence in the flesh To glory in Christ Jesus It's He who justifies O, 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 to deny myself and each day take up my cross O, 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 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 A follower of Jesus If I deny myself, if I take up my cross Then could I be called a Christian Every day.
