Antioch The place where my great battle with faith was first named Christian. Am I? Aren't I? A label I so desperately need to put my wandering mind at ease I can say "Christian! That is what I am! This is what I believe" But for me, faith is not that easy Antioch Where it became a club You're in or you're out Antioch A joyous event for those there Their truth recognsied At last For them, God's promises being fulfilled The day that the small Jewish sub-sect became... Christian. The day one more barrier was erected on this insignificant man's long and arduous journey of faith It's a journey that's not over Not even close Some days bounding, overjoyed, into the loving arms of God Some days a single seed amongst the thorns And in spite of all this Whether I like it or not I know That I am the lost sheep And I know That the shepherd is looking for me And I know that with man this is impossible And that with God all things are possible And I know That the Lord is calling me home Whether I like it or not
