Jesus Gives What I Need

Jesus Gives What I Need…

I’ve had many kinds
 of things.
I haven’t experienced the joy
 I thought they’d bring!

I‘d go to church 
and sit in the pew…
But the God I heard about... 
 I never knew!

Then one day, everything was gone!
I thought; “where did I go wrong?”

On the outside, others thought
 I was doing well.
I was empty, but they couldn’t tell!

Jesus…  I heard that you love me 
and are concerned.
I want to give my life to you. 
 It’s my “turn!”’

Thank you Lord, for the love 
 you supplied!
On that cross, for me,.  
you were crucified!

Thank you for giving peace 
and making me whole!
You’re all I need and have 
restored my soul!
