Living the Way Jesus Wants Me To Live

I want to live the way Jesus
 wants me to live…
All I have is a lowly
 and sinful life to give…

My soul is “dying.”  I need to
 live for HIM!
It’s rather difficult.  I don’t know
 where to begin!

A good place to start is on
 my knees in prayer!
He loves me so much.. 
 And is ALWAYS there!

By giving him a life filled with 
stress and tension…
I’ll receive a “heavenly
 blood transfusion!”

Thank you my Lord for
 listening to my plea!
And for having mercy on someone
 as lowly as me!

Jesus…  YOU give me hope to
 make it through the day!
By your love and washing
 my sins away!
