I'M Not What You Expected

I’m Not What You Expected

I’m not the kind of person you’d expect to be.
I have a lot of faults and sin deep inside of me.

I’m not the kind of “Christian” 
that you had expected.
In many of the churches…
 I’d probably be rejected.

I’m not someone you’d invite over for dinner.
I’m pretty much a “loser.” 
Never a “winner…”

I’m not the kind of person that you would call a “friend.”
I have so many troubles.  I don’t know where to begin.

I may not be any of these things.  
And so much more.
Not the kind of person you’d
 allow through your door.

I was told there is someone 
who is there for me…
Someone who gives his love
 and mercy abundantly.

I was told that if I come to him, 
and give him my heart.
He’ll change my life completely.  
And give a NEW start!

I was told that no matter my faults
 in this life I live.
The son of God has the power  to FORGIVE!

I may not be the kind of person you’d expect to see.
Desiring to be in a place called heaven.  For eternity!

Jesus is the one that I really need right now!
I confess my every sin to him.  
And humbly bow…

I come to you my lord.  And worship your name.
I’m so glad you're here right now...
  I’m so glad you came!
