Welcome to the Friends of Christ Website
This webpage has been put together by brothers and sisters in Christ who are walking this journey together. Some of us live near each other; while others are scattered abroad. Regardless, we are united as the Ekklesia- the Church of Jesus Christ. This is not a "ministry" or any sort of "thing". We are just some people longing to share our journeys in the hopes that you will be encouraged and perhaps provoked to share your journey with us! Remember, Christ is both the "way" and the "destination". He is the beginning and the end......and He is everything in between. He is our Life and we have found Him to be the truest lover of all. May your hunger and thirst be satisfied by His fulness.
Just Content to be a Son
by George Warnock
Just content to be a son
With no ambition to succeed
In realms of earth, and have no need
Of popularity's acclaim,
Or purchase for myself a name
In serving Christ; for He must be
The Lord throughout eternity.
To see His face and hear His voice,
And do His bidding is my choice.
Just content to be a son,
A son of God without a home,
To stay, or go, or wait, or roam...
Hither and yon without a plan,
Led of the Spirit, not of man.
I'll have no monument of praise,
But I'll have peace in God's own ways;
And though I tread this earthly sod,
I'll walk with Him, I live in God.
Just content to be a son,
Misunderstood, and yet I know
The path I take shall overflow
With life abundant and with grace.
I only need to run the race
With patience, waiting, seeing Him...
Hearing the still small voice within.
If others want the earth to quake...
I'll hear His voice when I awake.
Just content to be a son,
No words to say... but what He says;
No work to do... but what He does;
No fear or worry, anxious care,
I live with Him, His yoke I share...
No name to make, He writes His own
Upon the heart's pure glistening stone;
No life to live, I lay it down,
I'll share His cross... and live again.
