Cross in My Pocket

            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 every physical harm.

           It's not for identification
           For all the world to see.
           It's simply an understanding
           Between my Savior 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 strive to serve him better
           In all that 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 of my life
           If only I'll let him be.
