The Everyday Christian by Toni Lynn

He was an everyday Christian

He often spoke of Jesus’ love

And would hold your hand to pray

He seemed pretty normal

Like many Christians do

He led, he followed, he prayed

He sang, he Knew

This simple man

Living each day

Holding onto the Lord

And making his way

Then

It happened

An accident

Or was it a blessing?

An accident

That put him in the hospital for weeks

That brought those around him to their knees

The prayers went up

The voices were heard

Some he recognized

Some he will never know

Tears were shed

Hearts were broken

At the thought of losing him

He had no idea

How much he was loved

How much those around him

Needed and wanted him to be

Back the way he was

And this man

Who was an everyday Christian

Would never be the same

He found the true love of Jesus

Not through scripture

Not through his own pace

But the love of others and their faith

This man is humble

This man has more

But he’s not

An everyday Christian

Anymore

Because of the love of others

The love of his Lord

He slowly recovers

He always prays

And now we see a man
