No Cause But Christ

I had wondered what was my place in life, what good was I to do, what cause was I to promote. There are many good and worthy causes, and I bless everyone who works in them. But then I considered my own life and how Jesus changed all my values in an instant when He came in, and I saw that He was able far better than I to change men's hearts and minds. He became my cause, and continues to be, and will be as long as He gives me breath.

That's the thought behind this poem.

No cause but Christ,
No help but Him;
No war to wage
But self and sin.

No law but love,
No rule but right,
No good but grace,
No cause but Christ.
