TO MY FATHER IN HEAVEN, I GIVE ALL THE GLORY,
FOR GIVING ME JESUS AND THIS WONDERFUL STORY.
I ACCEPTED JESUS WHEN I WAS BUT SEVEN,
BUT DIDN’T UNDERSTAND THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
SO SATAN STOLE WHAT WAS IN MY HEART,
AND I WAS LOST FROM THE VERY START.
I WAS BAPTIZED IN WATER AT AGE SEVENTEEN,
BUT FOR ONLY A MOMENT DID I REALLY FEEL CLEAN.
MY FIRST DATE AFTER THAT, WAS WITH A PREACHER MAN,
HE WAS THE FIRST TO GET FRESH WITH ME, SO I RAN.
I RAN FROM THE CHURCH, AND FROM ALL RELIGION,
AND MARRIED A MAN, WITHOUT A VISION.
HE SAID WE COULD MAKE IT, JUST US TWO,
BUT I KNEW IN MY HEART, THERE WAS MORE WE SHOULD DO.
WE HAD OUR CHILDREN, THE TOTAL OF FOUR,
BUT AS FOR GOD’S KINGDOM, CLOSED WAS THE DOOR.
WE DID JOIN A CHURCH WITHOUT MUCH DELAY,
BUT JESUS CHRIST, WE DID NOT OBEY.
AS YEARS WENT BY, THINGS GOT WORSE AND WORSE,
I DECIDED BY THEN, "WE’RE UNDER A CURSE".
TWENTY YEARS LATER, IN SEVENTY-SEVEN,
I STARTED SEEKING THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
AND IN APRIL OF NINETEEN AND SEVENTY-EIGHT,
JESUS RESCUED MY SOUL FROM A TERRIBLE STATE.
I ASKED HIM TO BAPTIZE ME WITH POWER AND FIRE,
I’VE NEVER BEEN THE SAME, SINCE THAT VERY HOUR.
MY SIN NATURE, HE BURNED WITH THE FIRE OF HIS LOVE,
AND ANOINTED ME WITH HIS POWER FROM ABOVE.
THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NOW IN MY HEART,
I WISH HE HAD BEEN THERE FROM THE VERY START,
I PLEAD WITH THE SHEEP THAT ARE LOST IN HIS FOLD.
TO LISTEN ONLY TO JESUS, AND TO DO AS YOU’RE TOLD.
HE’LL RESCUE YOU FROM THE DANGERS AHEAD,
FOR THAT VERY REASON, HIS BLOOD WAS SHED.
HE’LL SIT YOU ON HIGH, IN A HEAVENLY PLACE,
AND LET HIS GLORY SHINE ON YOUR FACE.
YOU WILL HAVE TO USE FAITH TO RUN THIS RACE,
BUT SOON YOU WILL SEE HIM FACE TO FACE.
PRAISE YOU JESUS

20 years have gone by since I wrote this story
And I still give Jesus the honor and glory
I minister His Word quiet a lot on the net
To people who are lost & those that forget
That Jesus is Lord and the answer to all men
That His Love always covers a multitude of sin
That people can be free from the wiles of the devil
And that they can live in victory at any level
I watch and pray and give what I'm given
Forgiveness & love & in His peace I am livin
Jesus Christ is still my very life. |
