 THE CROSS IN MY POCKET   Author unknown  

I carry a cross in my pocket

A simple reminder to me

Of the fact that I am a Christian

 No matter where I may be.

 This little cross is not magic

 Nor is it a good luck charm;

It isn’t meant to protect me

From any physical harm.

It’s not for identification

For all the world to see;

It’s simply an understanding

 Between my Saviour and me.

When I put my hand in my pocket

To bring out a coin or key,

The cross is there to remind me

Of the price He paid for me.

It reminds me, too, to be thankful

For my blessings day by day

And to strive to serve Him better

In all I do and say.

It’s also a daily reminder

Of the peace and comfort I share

With all who know my Master

And give themselves to His care.

So, I carry a cross in my pocket

Reminding no one but me

That Jesus Christ is Lord in my live

If only I’ll let him be
