Chorus

To be a Christian is to bear another's load

To carry what they hold

When they can't walk another day

To be a Christian is holding out a hand

To help another stand

When everyone has turned away

To be a Christian (is giving love away)



They sat there all alone

Their mother almost gone

Their hope was passing, passing with the time

Should I turn and walk away

Or hold their hand and simply say

"I may not know your name, but I can find

In my heart to share your pain

And in my prayers to speak your name

You're not alone..."



Repeat Chorus



It isn't always understood

That through our worst, God is good

But when we act with love

It says so much more

There is something said of grace

When it's written on a face

That can touch a heart it's never touched before

For to truly be like Christ

It's not a sacrifice



(To be a Christian)

He gave His life

To help another stand

When everyone has turned away

To be a Christian is giving love away



Wishing doesn't make the heart stop from hurting

And hoping doesn't stop someone from crying

But mercy falls so free

To those who will believe

Just take another look at me
