Jesus Is What's Important In Life

I’ve been “spoiled” with having so many things.
Not knowing what true
 happiness brings!

Things that were “important” 
are important no more!
The life I was living…  
I was so “bored!”

A friend told me of Jesus 
who died for me!
He was nailed to a cross… 
That I may be free!

When I read the Bible and put this
 into “perspective.”
God loves me too!  
And is not selective!

It was all of us that to earth Jesus came!
I have really no reason to “complain!”

Giving my life to him is what
 is important now!
He loves me so much! 
 And how!

To you, my Lord, I give 
my everything!
You’ve changed my life
and can do ANYTHING!

I appreciate you and all you’ve done!
All honor and glory to 
God’s precious son!
