Jesus Came In To Leave His Mark

There is an inward change only God can do
it's spiritual that brings things so effectual
this work goes real deep into the heart
using man-made schemes are so ineffectual

On that transaction day in '82
Jesus came into leave His mark
changing thoughts to open my mind
bringing His light to quench the dark

My language was changed overnight
knowing now what is right from wrong
having real reverential awe for God
for the first time knowing that I belong

The bible came alive truly to this day
it had an inner voice speaking to me
especially the life of Jesus who is God
His love displayed dying on Calvary's cross

Jesus came in to leave His mark
upon me showing Himself my true light
what a privilege to know my saviour
to know Him personally changes my behavior

(How has knowing Jesus changed your life? What was your life like before and after you came to know Jesus as your Lord and Savior?  So this is my story of how Jesus changed my life)

Wonderful testimony my friend and brother in Christ Jesus. Before Christ came into my life I felt worthless. Then He entered and told me I was worth dying for. The King of Kings died For ME. Now I am worth more than gold because of Jesus. Now I have to try to show Him how much He means to me and how much His Sacrifice means to me. Super Write Gordon. Bravo. God Bless, JB
