My Church Forgot Me…  But Jesus Found Me!

My first visit to church… I pulled up in my car.

I noticed a sign; “we welcome you as you are!”

I thought; “how do I come, if I’m not who I am?”

I walked to the front door, and shook the usher’s hand.

I was later introduced as a visitation guest.

The church seemed to rather “happy and blessed.”

As many of the people prayed and sang some songs.

I went each Sunday and seemed to get along.

Something happened and I couldn’t make it on Sunday.

Nor could I make to the classes each Wednesday.

No one ever called to ask if I was doing o.k.

I even left a message and asked

 the church to pray.

As the weeks went by, it seemed like I was forgotten.

My whole life came “crashing down,”

and hit bottom.

It was in these moments, I cried out in pain.

Wondering if anyone in heaven knew my name.

A close relationship with Christ began to grow.

God reached down from heaven knew my name.

A close relationship with Christ began to grow.

He reached down from heaven and healed my soul!

A relationship with Christ is

the most important thing.

God is bigger than any church

 and cam do anything!

If a church has forgotten you,

let me give you a reminder.

Christ is all you’ll need!  He’s your provider!

He can do what no church could ever do!

He’ll always be your friend,

and will never leave you!
