Jesus Gave To Me What Drugs Could Never Give
There was a time when I felt so lonely and forsaken.
Everything I had was either gone or taken.
I lost all hope and had no place to stay.
Just trying to get through another day.
I thought that drugs would give me what I needed.
The “danger signs” in life, I no longer heeded.
I soon learned about “joints” and “tricks.”
All I lived for, was to get “another fix.”
I felt no right or wrong, no guilt or shame.
Then one night an “angel of mercy” called my name.
“Jesus loves you” were whispered
into my ear.
Without help-I knew—death was so near!
This “angel” gave me a place to rest my head.
He seen that I was clothed, bathed, and fed.
His words were filled with a message of hope.
I soon gave up all of my drugs and dope.
This “angel of God” gave me an invitation.
And soon I received God's wonderful salvation.
I traded my “ashes”for God's mercy and grace.
I now have joy in my heart & a smile on my face.
God's love can do what no drugs could ever do!
He's here right now... He is waiting for YOU!!
