If Not For Jesus, Where Would I Be?

At times, I wondered how I was going to make it.

All of the problems I had…  How would I take it?

It seemed like the pressures of life came crashing down.

I see a lot of fears and anxiety that are all around!

Sometimes I go hide in the closet and let myself cry.

There are times I just wanted to “run away and die!

I have often wondered if anybody really cares.

It just seems like trouble follows me everywhere!

I’d asked; “Can Jesus really love me?”

I had so many problems…  Would he help me?

Just about the time that I asked this question.

I felt a peace and hope that took away my “tension.”

It was if I felt the hand of God reach from above.

And began to fill me with an overflowing love!

I cried and wept like I’ve never done before!

Whatever was happening to me...  I wanted more!

I cried and called for help, in Jesus’ name…

Things in my life have never been the same!

Christ has brought to my life a healing and restoration!

And blessed me with HIS love and gift of salvation!

He removed the things in life that I was holding on to!

And taught me to pray, though I didn’t want to!

I thank Jesus, for the work that he’s done in me!

He’s done all of this, because of his love for me!

I invite you to come and allow Jesus a chance…

He can change you now!  Whatever the circumstance!

Jesus blesses those who earnestly seek him!

Now can be the time for you to receive him!
