+ It Means To Be A Christian Poem by Jordan Legaspi

It means to be a Christian


You raise me up, to climb the mountain
And against its stiffness you make me stand
But pull me down from the high ground
To let me see the meaning of power and glory
You raise me up, to sail in stormy waters
And against its waves you make me calm
But pull me back from the sea and put me into the shore
For me to comprehend the meaning of name and fame
You raise me up, to walk on snowy ground
And against its coldness you keep me warm
But pull me in every side to feel its hardness
And make me realize the danger of too much wealth
You raise me up, to journey long nights
And against its darkness you made me see
But black my ways and took my luggage away
And ask me to pause and reflect which way
My friend you raise me up
From my weakness and limitation
You pull me back from my will and reason
To let me know what it means to follow you
