Good Christian

Good Christian

I heard one day of Good Christian

And for a moment I couldn't understand

If over there Good Christian see

Then over yonder Bad Christian be.

Good Christian as we're sure to know

Is gentle, helpful, no worldly flow

Means then Bad Christian is likely

Suffering chronic, and putting on a hyper-show.

Good Christian is eager, approachable too

Bad Christian suffers lassitude and ingratitude, who knew?

Good Christian has fine morals he wears like a skin

Bad Christian – catch him offside – he swears at his kin!

Good Christian seeks to his wisdom share

Bad Christian shows knowledge with so great a flair

Good Christian exhibits a right kindly glow

Bad Christian never fears to tell who he knows.

I tell you all this so that you would know

Wherever the rabbit, the fox it will show!

Good Christian, Bad Christian, the wheat and the tare

Together, a-growing, same garden they share!

Our Bible tells us to watch the fruit

Because a bad tree never a good fruit seed

Bitter water cannot good water contain

And hot mout' will speak what cold heart enchain!

So when you see Christian Good and Bad

Look to Jesus, and then be glad

For Gentleness, goodness, and honesty, see right

In the mien of him who is following the Light! **BJC**

THEY CAN'T HIDE!
