Jesus Is Waiting For You

Satan comes to steal,
 kill and destroy.
To rob you of your peace,
 happiness and joy.

He’ll take the beautiful things 
God has made,
To lure you into sin and bondage—
like a slave.

He’ll twist the truth
 any way he can,
So God’s word—
you won’t understand.

You’ll end up shattered,
 tormented and confused.
Perhaps feeling alone, neglected
 and abused.

Jesus is here now—knocking at
 your heart’s door.
Allow him to come in—
what are you waiting for?

He’s promised to give you an everlasting
 and abundant life.
His love will remove all sin, guilt,
 sorrow and strife…
