A Christians View

What happened to Jesus when He stood up for His Fathers word?
   I know you know, I know you’ve heard.
He was persecuted, condemned, but why was He crucified?
   What did He do, and how could this be justified?
Christians today are starting to receive persecution in much the same way.
   All because of stubborn ignorance and they don’t want to listen to what our 
Savior is trying to say.
If only they would just once open their minds and then their hearts.
   They’d receive His healing, if only they’d start.
Christians just have something so wonderful that they just want to share.
   The love of our Father and the knowing He will always care.
We’re not here to lie to you, we’re not trying to deceive.
   We’re just trying to tell you of Jesus in hopes you receive.
Without Jesus in my life there was something amiss.
   But since I accepted Jesus, I feel His heavenly bliss.
The void is now full, the itch has been scratched.
   Like pieces of a puzzle so perfectly matched.
Looking back I wonder how I made it without Jesus in my life.
   I can promise you it wasn’t easy, it was so full of strife.
Jesus took all that away, is all I can say.
   I owe it all to Jesus, and I praise Him each and every day.
