Not Because I'm the Best

Not because I am the best speaker

That has ever spoken a word

And not because I am the best songbird

That you have ever heard

Not because I am the best writer

That has ever penned a book

But because He is the best and

My sins on Himself He took.

There is something that you will see

When you take a good look at me

You will see a nobody

That puzzles you a bit

Because you cannot figure out how I

Manage to do several things well

And seem never to tire and never quit.

I will tell you, folks; you see me do what I do

Because I am working for a crown

And that is why you will see and hear

Me encouraging others whenever I am around

-encouraging them right along

Either thru speech or the words of a song.

And that is why I will be singing snippets of two songs on tomorrow afternoon at the Songfest that is being held at Old Fulton Rd. Church of Christ, Martin, TN. (See flyer on yesterday's blog or my Facebook page.)

I realize that the faith that I display might help someone to embrace the Lord or another one to remain strong. So come on out and be lifted up in song as we tell our respective stories of our love for and our trust in the Lord. It promises to be a treat.

Somebody said, "What! Mrs. Alma, you mean that you sing?" To which I replied, "He didn't say that I had to be the best, He just requires my best. And that, I freely give."
