I Once Told Othes About Jesus
I Once Told Others About Jesus…
When I was young, I talked about Jesus to others…
I was proud to do it, and wasn’t at all “bothered.”
I remember witnessing to others at home and school.
I wasn’t ashamed of God, no matter the “rules.”
I had a passion to witness back then…
A passion and zeal to see others born again!
I loved my Jesus! Yes… I really did!
I had so much of his love I wanted to give!
Look at me now! After all of these years!
I’ve “given in” to my own worries and fears!
I don’t talk about Jesus much like I should…
“Talking about Jesus?” I keep it under “my hood.”
I’m not ashamed to talk about my family!
Why not talk about someone who’s made me happy?
It was Jesus who put my life back together!
Now, I’ve tried to remove him from my life forever!
“I’m so sorry Lord!” “I Let you down!”
I asked for God’s forgiveness and fell to the ground!
I then felt the Lord’s hand… His special touch!
He said; “get up my son!”
“I love you so much!”
A new passion for Christ began to brew!
I shouted out loud… “Jesus… I LOVE YOU!”
I was not ashamed to tell others of Christ any longer!
My passion to serve Christ… I didn’t ponder!
I now love to share his love wherever I go!
For Christ has ransomed and purchased my soul!
He is and shall always be the Lord for me!
I once was lost…
But now I AM FREE!
