I don’t remember much about this song, just that I wrote it in my junior year at Steubenville, in the small music practice room in the St. Joseph Center.

lyrics

We’re Christians (Or That’s What We Claim) (MM = 106)

I don’t know how to tell you, so I’d better start
We’ve got to change our life
We say we’re Christian but we’ve got divided hearts
But God can end this strife.
Christ has no words but ours, no lives to spread His truth.

I can see clearly now that they’re looking at us
Trying to find someone to blame
So we must live the life, it’s so obvious
‘Cause we’re Christians, or that’s what we claim
And we live for the love of His Name.

If we don’t change our lives to be a sign of contradiction,
They’re gonna lose their faith.
We can lead them to seek things of evil, or we could be
An avenue of grace.
Christ has no words but ours, no lives to spread His truth.

And I wonder if our hearts are truly pure
And I wonder if God’s wanting something more.
