Jesus.

Im here to tell you a story of how Jesus set me free

A story about how who I am today has nothing to do with me.

See, once i was lost and lonely and i didn’t know what to do

Til Jesus said come here, YOU’RE mine, im here to comfort you.

Cause there was a time in my life

When i tried to fill an inside void

I tried to fill it with things that would pass away

But you see it was then, in that moment that my Jesus was overjoyed.

Because it was then that he knew that I was just within His grasp

That the shay He once knew soon, would come to pass.

Because it was there in my darkest moment Jesus spoke to me

He said “it is by grace you have been saved” (ephesians 2:8) and that “truth will set you free’ (john 8:32)

And i said “My GOD! I don’t deserve this, you’re grace and you’re mercy

He said “You’re right but that’s why its called grace,

Thats why i laid out my arms on a cross and and Had blood running down my face”.

He said “you see In that moment when my arms were stretched out wide

And in that moment when they put a spear in my side

I was thinking of you, when there were yelling “CRUCIFY!!” ”

Because you see My Jesus knew there was a load much too heavy to carry

The burden of God’s wrath was much more than i could take, it was much too scary.

So you see my Jesus took my sin and my fake neatness

And turned it into something beautiful, so that I could boast in my weekness.

Because you see I’m still not perfect, no hardly so

But because of my Jesus those stains were erased over 2000 years ago.

So thats not where my story ends

No, thats exactly where my story begins.

Because you see every single day is a journey

See because of Jesus, i’m alive not being carried away on a gurney.

Because of my Jesus my life now has meaning , meaning so much more

My life now has meaning, more than ever before.

So my question to you is when will you let Him in?

When will you let, let your life begin?
