Steve Camp - Could I Be Called a Christian lyrics

Could I be called a Christian
If everybody knew
The secret thoughts and feelings
Of everything I do
Could they see the likeness
Of Christ in me each day
Or could they hear him speaking
In every word I say

Could I be called a Christian
If my faith I did not show
If I did not go to places
Where the Lord would have me go
If I do not love His truth
If I do not guard His trust
If I cherish more than Jesus
My greatest hidden lust
To obey all He's commanded
To do all that He said
To be his true disciple
To place no confidence in the flesh
To glory in Christ Jesus
It's He who justifies
How to find your life you must lose it
To live you first must die
Let every man examine his own life
"Could I be called a Christian?"

Could I be called a Christian
And believe not his Holy Word
If I take Him as my Savior
And then refuse Him as my Lord
If I could not love the outcast
And am not burdened for the lost
If I fail the deny myself
And each day take up my cross

To obey all He's commanded
To do all that He said
To be his true disciple
To place no confidence in my flesh
To glory in Christ Jesus
For it's He who justifies
How to find your life you must lose it
To live you first must die
Let every man examine his own life

How to find your life you lose it
To live you first must die
Let every man examine his own life
"Could I be called a Christian?"

Could I be called a Christian oh, could I
If I refuse Him as the Lord tell me, could I
If I do not guard the truth
If I do not guard the trust
If everybody knew if everybody knew
Could I be called if I love more than Jesus
If I deny myself if I take up my cross
Then could I
Then could I be called a Christian everyday
