A WEEK IN ROME

A week in Rome
A long way from home
Reached across the years
To bring me closer to Christ

It helped me see
Sacrificial lives
Living for Jesus
Speaking to me

I will not forget
The things I’ve seen
The history I’ve learned
The places that testify to Thee

Titular churches
Aqueducts and roads
Buildings that stand
Spoke to me

I am not alone
History is long
Jesus is the same
Yesterday, today and tomorrow

I also saw what pagans think
They ignore Jesus’ name
Even though they can see
They live enslaved and bound
