God Traded His Beauty For My Sin

Jesus...  Your name I will 
always cherish.
Without you.  I would 
certainly perish.

Knowing you has been a pleasure.  
A true delight.
Now, things in my life are
 turning out allright!

YOU are my best friend. 
 God's precious son.
My daily provider.  
The all sufficient one.

You picked me up when,
 I was lonely and sad.
I have joy and happiness,
 I once never had.

Without you; I'd still be involved
 in so much sin.
That's why I fall in love with you
 all over again.

For my life...  
Your life is what you gave.
Thank you Jesus!  I received
 the BEST of the trade!
