Said James

Said James

What good is it, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds
Can such faith save him, will it define if he truly succeeds
Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food
If you send them away, yet unfulfilled, how will you be viewed

Faith by itself, if unaccompanied by action, is dead
Is like leaving your brother, in the cold, yearning to be fed
Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you faith by what I do
You believe that there is one God, well the demons believe that too

As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead
Actions speak louder than words, a quote you have probably heard said
So what does this mean, have you deciphered its’ clue
Let us look at it another way, give you a quick review

Fruits of our spiritual labor, good works, the deeds we perform
What God asks of each of us, He molds us and we truly transform
These are acts that God created us specifically to do
If we fail to complete the task, does it show our true value

When we stand before Jesus, to answer for our mortal ways
Will we be ashamed, or look Him in the eyes yearning for His praise
Faith must be accompanied by good works, is what it comes down to
For by faith we are saved, but by our deeds we will be judged too.
