GOSPEL ACCORDING TO YOU

      THE GOSPEL  ACCORDING  TO  YOU

         "You are our epistle, written in our
         hearts, known and read to all men."

        The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke
            and John,
        Are read by more than a few,
        But the one that is most read and
            commented on
        Is the gospel according to you.

       You are writing a gospel, a chapter
           each day
       By things that you do and words that
           you say,
       Men read what you write, whether
           faithless or true.
       Say, what is the gospel according
           to you?

       Do men read His truth and His love
           in your life,
      Or has yours been too full of malice
          and strife?
      Does your life speak of evil, or does
          it ring true?
      Say, what is the gospel according
          to you?
