If I Say That I Love God

If I say that I love God,
 yet refuse to listen…
Then his blessings in my life
 is what I’ll be missin.’

If I say that I love him  
and am sincere…
I’ll not be afraid.  
Because he’s always here!

If I say that I believe his
 word to be  true…
Then I ought to live the way
 Christ wants me to!

If I say that I will daily 
give him 100 percent…
Then I need to humble myself
 and to him…  Repent!

If I say that I will seek
 to serve one another…
Then I need to be there for
 my sister and brother!

If I say that Jesus is truly
 the Lord of my life…
Then he will bless me and
 my kids and wife…

Why not say; “I invite you Jesus
 to come inside to live.?”
“I accept your blood and
 power to forgive!”

Won’t you say; “Here I am Jesus...”
  “Here I come!”
And experience the life-changing 
power of God’s risen son!

Christ says; 
“You that have burdens...”
  “I will give you rest…”
Living for Jesus is
 always the BEST!
