My Greatest Holiday Gift

MY GREATEST HOLIDAY GIFT

On a basement floor one stormy night
I knelt in prayer to set things right

I asked Jesus into my life
To bear the burden of all my strife

He gladly came into my heart
And promised me He'd never depart

My life has never been the same
I'm so glad that Jesus came

To forgive my sins and set me free
And reign with Him eternally

Sara: You are right, God is faithful to hear and answer our prayers. I'm so grateful for His faithfulness, steadfastness, holiness, righteousness to us. I'm pleased that you feel the same. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
