I Was Thinking Just the Other Day
I was thinking about something
just the other day.
I was at a loss for the
"right words to say."
I was thinking about a time
"way back when."
That day I became born again.
A zeal for Jesus that
I once had.
Excitement in my life,
a heart so glad.
A passion for Christ
overwhelmed my soul.
I loved Jesus-for he had
made me whole.
I've forgotten things that
I once knew.
Reading God's word-
I no longer do.
What has happened to me?
I'm so ashamed!
I'm an embarrassment to
Jesus' holy name.
So, dear Jesus, my knees
I humbly bow.
Please change my life...
I need you now!
By your word, transform
me deep within.
I confess to you my backsliding sin.
I re-commit my life NOW-Yes I do!
And by your love, I'm made
BRAND NEW!
