Sharing Jesus Christ

I think sharing our faith is so much more then most of us learned as a child. Sure it involves going to where people are..but I don't believe it involves knocking on their door and forcing Jesus upon them (my personal opinion). I think since my faith is about relationship, maybe I should establish a relationship with someone before I share my faith. Maybe, just maybe we shouldn't even try to force a relationship. Perhaps, God is trying to give you opportunities to share Jesus with those that you already have relationship with? These are a few songs that exemplify sharing my faith with those I love. I hope you enjoy.


Casting Crowns - Here I Go Again
Father, hear my prayer. I need the perfect words.
Words that he will hear and know they're straight from You.
I don't know what to say. I only know it hurts to see my only friend slowly fade away.

So maybe this time I'll speak the words of life with Your fire in my eyes.
But that old familiar fear is tearing at my words.
What am I so afraid of?

'Cause here I go again. Talkin 'bout the rain and mulling over things.
That won't live past today and as I dance around the truth.
Time is not his friend. This might be my last chance to tell him that You love him.
But here I go again, here I go again.

Lord, You love him so. You gave Your only Son.
If he will just believe; he will never die.
But how then will he know what he has never heard
Lord he has never seen mirrored in my life

So maybe this time I'll speak the words of life with Your fire in my eyes.
But that old familiar fear is tearing at my words.
What am I so afraid of?

'Cause Here I go again. Talkin 'bout the rain and mulling over things.
That won't live past today and as I dance around the truth.
Time is not his friend. This might be my last chance to tell him that You love him.
But here I go again. Here I go, here I go

So maybe this time I"ll speak the words of life with Your fire in my eyes.
But that old familiar fear is tearing at my words.
What am I so afraid of?

'Cause here I go again. Talkin 'bout the rain and mulling over things.
That won't live past today and as I dance around the truth.
Time is not his friend. This might be my last chance to tell him that You love him.
This might be my last chance to tell him that you love him.
This might be my last chance to tell him that you love him.

You love him, you love him.
What am I so afraid? What am I so afraid? What am I so afraid of?
How then will he know? What he has never heard?

Conversations (Sara Groves)
I don't know how to say this. I don't know how to stand.

I don't know where to put my feet, or where to put my hands.
I've got them in my pockets, my fingers are freezing cold.
They're wrapped around a ticket stub that's four weeks old,
and I don't know how to say this
I think we've figured out this world is bigger than you and I.

We've exhausted our wealth of knowledge and have no more answers for mankind

CHORUS:
We've had every conversation in the world about what is right and what has all gone bad,
but have I mentioned to you that this is all I am, this is all that I have

I'm not trying to judge you. No That's not my job. I am just a seeker too, in search of God
Somewhere somehow this subject became taboo. I have no other way to communicate to you. This is all that I have. This is all that I am.

CHORUS

And I would like to share with you what makes me complete. I don't claim to have found the Truth, but I know it has found me
The only thing that isn't meaningless to me

Is Jesus Christ and and way he set me free
This is all that I have. This is all that I am.
It's all that I have. And it's all.
The only thing that isn't meaningless to me
Is Jesus Christ and the way He set me free.
And this is all that I have. This is all that I am.
It's all that I have. And it's all that I am.

It's all that I have. And it's all....

I don't know how to say this.
I don't know where to start.
I just know that I care for you and i'm speaking from my heart.

Blessings to each one of you and I'm glad that we are friends. If you wanna know about Jesus, just ask me. He's changed me for the better and I'm so glad I know him!
