Then Jesus Came!

My  life has been an

an embarrassment!

 Filled with hopelessness, worry

 and discouragement.

There’s been many things,

 I thought I  enjoyed.

But inside of me,

is a large, empty void.

Many nights, I cried

 myself to sleep.

Having a”hole” in my life,

 very, very deep.

Then one day, 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 so 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 the emptiness in my soul!

For in you, I am now complete,

 and made whole!
