Jesus—I Come to You!

 

For many years—my life was

an embarrassment.

Filled with hopelessness, worry

and discouragement.

 

So many things I thought

I had enjoyed.

Everything just left in me

a large, empty void.

 

Many nights, I would

cry myself to sleep.

Knowing the hole my life was in,

was very, very deep.

 

Then one day, I called out to God,

not sure if he'd listen.

My family, my old church,

I was now missin'.

 

My family prayed for me

for so many years.

I would often bring them

embarrassment and tears.

 

God—I've tried everything else!

I want to come back to you!

I need you now Jesus—I really, really do!

 

Please come into my heart

and cleanse me within.

Set me free from my addictions

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 the emptiness in my soul.

For in you, I am now complete,

satisfied, and made whole!
