I Give You Jesus

I Give You Jesus!

I wanted to encourage you the best way I can.
I pray that in my attempt, you’ll understand.

I see that many difficulties have got a hold of you.
I’d like to take the time to try and encourage you!

The best encouragement that I can give or think of…
Is to share with you a friend that I love to speak of!

His name is Jesus! He’s done a beautiful work in me.
I’m not the same kind of person that I used to be!

He came at a time when my life was at a dead end road.
He reached out and offered to take my heavy load.

At first, I wasn’t sure what I was going to do.
But then he spoke the words; “I LOVE YOU!”

The love that I felt was something I never experienced.
I was used to depending on something’s “appearance.”

This was different!  Jesus was there and he touched me!
Very quickly, I could feel his presence all around me!

He took my load of sin, guilt and the shame I had carried.
He put them into his forgiveness plan, ever to be buried!

What he’s done for me, I encourage you to believe him!
He has so many blessings for you!  You can receive them!

Simply call on his name and put your faith in him!
He’s a faithful friend!  You can depend on him!

I give you Jesus!  He’s the better than 
what this world can give you!
Won’t you come?  And let his love 
completely fill you!
