How I Need Jesus

How I Need Jesus! For many years, my life was an embarrassment. Filled with hopelessness, worry and discouragement. There were many things, I thought I enjoyed. Everything just left in me a large, empty void. Many nights, I would cry myself to sleep. Knowing the “hole” in my life, was very deep. Then one day, I called out to God! I wasn’t 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 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 addictions and every sin. I know that you will never let go of my hand. My whole life, on your word, I shall stand. Only you can satisfy the emptiness in my soul. For in you, I’m made complete, satisfied, and whole!
