Jesus I Come To You

For many years—my life was an embarrassment. Filled with hopelessness, worry and discouragement. So many things I thought I had enjoyed. Everything just left a large, empty void. Many nights, I would cry myself to sleep. Knowing the hole my life was in, was very, very deep. Then one day, I called out to God, not sure if he'd listen. My family, my old church, I was now missin'. My family prayed for me for so many years. I would often bring them embarrassment and tears. God—I've tried everything else! I want to come back to you! I need you now Jesus—I really do! Please come into my heart and cleanse me within. Set me free from any addictions and every sin. I know that you will never let go of my hand. My whole life... On your word... I shall stand! Only you can satisfy the emptiness in my soul. For in you, I am now complete, satisfied, and made whole! By Jim Pemberton 2009
