Jesus I Know That You Can Turn My Life Around

So often I have tried to
 believe in Jesus’ name…
Many times, I have brought
 him so much shame.

Now matter how much I try… 
 I fall and stumble…
The uncertainties of life have
 caused me to grumble.

Why, Oh Lord, does this keep
 happening most every day?
I’m almost at a lost for
 the right words to say…

I can almost see Jesus with
 his arms extended.
My heart needs to be 
repaired and mended…

I come to you Jesus, with a life
 “turned upside down…”
Asking you to forgive me and to
 “turn things around…”

I know that your love can
 make me complete.
I can feel your presence... 
 From my head to my feet.

I thank you!  My Lord and my God!
Your love shines brighter
than a lightning rod!

I know that I can give 
you all of my trust.
Living for you each day.  
I know that I must!

Giving my life for yours is my Godly duty
As I worship your majesty and beauty!

You have planned my life
 according to your design!
And have given me joy
 and a Godly peace of mind!
