The Greatest Adventure

Telly bosses express distaste

for Christianity, what a waste,

unless, of course, they can expose

the hypocrisy,

I mean,

don't you see?

Nothing's meant to be!

It's just fallacy.

And so I watch on with horror,

because telly reflections just do not mirror

accurately

the reality

of what it means to be saved

or to receive grace

or to seek His face

and sacrifice praise.

We're always alien

we're the weird 'other'

who call each other 'sister' and 'brother'

and if we're not

we've an evil side

and what would Jesus say?

They ask, because this is just not right.

But this life isn't boring

and that's a fact

even if nuns aren't really

like they are on Sister Act.

I've never been more excited

to wake up each day

and tackle every challenge

that comes my way

praying, please Lord, let me be your spy,

I'm your double oh seven

your secret agent

show me someone that needs a blessing.

I never have to worry

I never have to strive

because I've nothing missing

with God by my side

He's my personal hero

and He's your hero too

He doesn't mind where you came from

and He's got a plan for you.

So if being saved is boring

then I'm still waiting for the yawning...

Even if films still fancy us

as plain and dull

do-gooders

or back stabbers

and hypocrites,

self-righteous

with evil bits,

then that's okay,

as long as you know

that it's fiction

that's as far as it goes,

because my circumstance

does not have to dictate

my happiness, I don't have to wait

to be perfect

or for life to be perfect

to have life in abundance

overflowing, and so worth it.

So I hope it shows,

if you didn't already know

I might not be there yet

and I've still a way to go,

and if quoting Miley Cyrus is a crime

I'm sorry, but it really is the climb -

the journey is the longest part

so I'll enjoy the view with all my heart,

happy as I am,

complete in Him,

growing

and learning

now I've stopped the searching

this is the greatest adventure

and it's never boring.
