Jesus...(Not drugs) Is Our Hope!

There was a time when I felt

so lonely and forsaken.

Everything I had was either gone or taken.

I lost all hope and had

no place to stay.

Just trying to get through another day.

I thought that drugs would

give me what I needed.

The “danger signs” in life,

I no longer heeded.

I soon learned about “joints” and “tricks.”

All I lived for, was to get “another fix.”

I felt no right or wrong, no guilt or shame.

Then one night an “angel of mercy”

called my name.

“Jesus loves you” were whispered

into my ear.

Without help-I knew—death was so near!

This “angel” gave me a place to rest my head.

He saw that I was clothed,

bathed, and fed.

His words were filled with a message of hope.

I soon gave up all of my

drugs and dope.

This “angel of God” gave me an invitation.

And soon I received God's wonderful salvation.

I traded my “ashes”for God's

mercy and grace.

I now have joy in my heart & a smile on my face.

God's love can do what no drugs

could ever do!

He's here right now... He is waiting for YOU!!
