Jesus Not Church Get's Me Excited

Jesus, Not Church Get’s Me Excited!
It’s Jesus, not church, 
that gets me excited.
Everything I need, 
he’s already provided!

Jesus is the one that won’t disappoint me.
Though there’s many in church
who say they love me.

Jesus is more than a Sunday experience.
Loving him is more than a 
“religious appearance.”

He’s than worthy of all honor and praise!
I want to humbly serve him all of my days!

Hallelujah!  Worthy is the lamb forevermore!
Jesus is God!  And is worth 
living for!

He is and shall always be
 the Lord for me!
He has come that I may be FREE!

May all religious idols be “swallowed up.”
May the Lord Jesus Christ 
be lifted up!

Knowing him is the most important thing.
No matter the confusion 
religion may bring!

Please come Lord Jesus 
and touch me today!
Hell’s gate is broad, but narrow
 is your way!

You give to me what no church
 can ever give!
You give me hope, and a reason to LIVE!
