Jesus Is Why I’m Here!

My life had been

an embarrassment!

 Filled with failure

 and discouragement.

There were many things,

 I thought I enjoyed…

But inside of me,

is a large, empty void.

Many nights, I cried

 myself to sleep.

Having a sin in my life,

 that was very deep.

 I called out to Jesus,

 not sure if he'd listen.

My family, my old church,

I was now missin'.

My family prayed for me

 for  many years.

I would often bring them

embarrassment and tears.

Jesus—I've tried everything else!

I want to come back to you!

I need  you now Jesus! I really do!

Please come into my heart

and cleanse me within.

Set me free from my problems

and every sin.

I know that you will never

 let go of my hand.

My whole life, on your word,

I shall now stand.

Only you can satisfy my weary soul!

It's in you, I am now  

made whole!
