I Heard of a Savior

I heard of a family that’s “falling apart…”
When I heard the news…  It saddened my heart.

I heard of another murder.  Another killing.
The details about it were rather “chilling…”

I heard of an accident just near our place…
And can still see the look
 on the person’s face.

I’ve heard of so many other tragedies
 that I won’t share.
Evil and wickedness are happening everywhere!

I’ve heard of the sin that “plagues” mankind…
It’s been with us since the beginning of time.

I’ve heard of a savior.  From heaven he came…
On the cross, he bore all 
of our sorrow and shame.

I’ve heard this same Jesus can
mend the broken homes…
And can bring true healing
 to the body and bones.

I’ve heard and have 
experienced within.
Christ’ power to cleanse and take away our sin!

I’ve heard that he’s knocking 
at your heart’s door…
He can change your life 
and do so MUCH MORE!

I’ve heard that all you need to do…  
Is to invite him in…
So you too can have a relationship with HIM!

I’ve heard and know he can bring
to your life true meaning…
Won’t you accept him NOW? 
 And start believing???
