We Wear the Cross

I saw a fight today,
Two men were brash and bold.
Their violence was strange,
Each wore a cross of gold.

Another day I saw a girl,
A 'lady of the night'.
She walked the darkened street,
Her silver cross shone bright.

We all wear crosses now
To decorate our days,
But what of meaning and of creed
And changing of our ways?

Where do we take our Savior
When we wear His sign;
The symbol of His sacrifice,
His love for us divine?

The love of Christ a fad?
The blood a new couture?
He calls us to proclaim His Name
And live a life that's pure.

Christ bore the cross for us
And bids us go and tell;
Let's wear the cross in truth
So all in Him may dwell.
