Isn't It Strange? Isn't it strange how a 20 dollar bill seems like such a large amount when you donate it to church, but such a small amount when you go shopping? Isn't it strange how 2 hours seem so long when you're at church, and how short they seem when you're watching a good movie? Isn't it strange that you can't find a word to say when you're praying, but you have no trouble thinking what to talk about with a friend? Isn't it strange how difficult and boring it is to read one chapter of the Bible, but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a popular novel? Isn't it strange how everyone wants front-row-tickets to concerts or games, but they do whatever is possible to sit at the last row in Church? Isn't it strange how we need to know about an event for Church 2-3 weeks before so we can include it in our agenda, but we can adjust it for other events in the last minute? Isn't it strange how difficult it is to learn a fact about God to share it with others, but how easy it is to learn, understand, extend and repeat gossip? Isn't it strange how we believe everything that magazines and newspapers say, but we question the words in the Holy Bible? Isn't it strange how everyone wants a place in heaven, but they don't want to believe, do, or say anything to get there? Isn't it strange how we send jokes in e-mails and they are forwarded right away, but when we are going to send messages about God, we think about it twice before we share it with others? IT'S STRANGE ISN'T IT? MY CHOICE by Shirley Gutierrez Oh, to hear the stories that Christians tell Of Satan, fire, death and hell Of demons that torture night and day Of pain and suffering along the way. They say these things are meant to be For only those who just won't see The other choice, the ONE above The God of Peace and Hope and Love. Now what if I choose Satan's way To live my life from day to day Just let myself have loads of fun Now how much harm could I have done? First I could just go hang around In the darker parts of town Or lie or steal or cuss and drink It doesn't matter what people think. And what's a little cheating now and then? Everyone does it; it's not such a sin. I only want what I deserve So to have my way, who do I serve? You say this Christ, He died for me? He paid the price to set me free? He willingly laid down His life To save me from all sin and strife? He took my cross and carried it To keep me from the fiery pit He took away all sin and shame And laid it on His Precious Name. Now why would Jesus care for me So much he'd hang there on that tree? He's given all that He can give To offer Life and let me live. I guess my choice is finally clear I'll serve my God while I am here I'll love Him every day I live I'll give Him all I've got to give. I know He knows what's best for me For He can see things I can't see I'll trust Him each and every day For every step along the way. The choice is clear -- God's way is best For, Satan, you have failed the test. You're doomed already, by the Book God's already said it. Take a look! And Satan, you can't have my heart For Jesus lives there; he won't part And just to let you know who's boss Just look at that ol' rugged cross. For that ol' cross, you'll find it bare For Jesus is no longer there Death can't keep him in the grave Freedom over death, He gave. I'll have eternity to Praise His Name I know I'll never be the same Since Christ has set me free from sin And sent His Holy Spirit to dwell within. So let me share my song with you And tell you what my God can do He'll give you Peace and Joy inside And from your fears, you'll never hide. For all victory is yours, in Jesus' Name And you will never be the same Let Jesus in and take His hand You'll be on your way to the Promise Land...
