Jesus Can Do the Same For You

When I gave my heart to Jesus...
 is what I wanted to do.
I really didn't how to live...
 the way he wants me to.

My life was "messed up. " It needed
 to be put "back on track."
So I started reading my bible. 
 From the front to the back.

Even though I struggle with
 temptations and sin.
I realize that Jesus is teaching
 me to be more like HIM.

I am tired of "religion."
 I needed something real.
For once in my life.  A true peace
 and joy I now feel.

A life filled with defeat and despair,
 is now being transformed.
Living according to God's word...
 I am being conformed!

I haven't regretted the decision 
I made back then.
Christ has fulfilled my life with love. 
 I am born again!

I'm here today, because of something
 I know to be so true.
Everything Jesus has done for me...  
He can also do FOR YOU!
