My Church Forgot Me But Jesus Found Me
My Church Forgot Me… But Jesus Found Me!
My first visit to church… I pulled up in my car.
I noticed a sign; “we welcome you as you are!”
I thought; “how do I come, if I’m not who I am?”
I walked to the front door, and shook the usher’s hand.
I was later introduced as a visitation guest.
The church seemed to rather “happy and blessed.”
As many of the people prayed and sang some songs.
I went each Sunday and seemed to get along.
Something happened and I couldn’t make it on Sunday.
Nor could I make to the classes each Wednesday.
No one ever called to ask if I was doing o.k.
I even left a message and asked
the church to pray.
As the weeks went by, it seemed like I was forgotten.
My whole life came “crashing down,”
and hit bottom.
It was in these moments, I cried out in pain.
Wondering if anyone in heaven knew my name.
A close relationship with Christ began to grow.
God reached down from heaven knew my name.
A close relationship with Christ began to grow.
He reached down from heaven and healed my soul!
A relationship with Christ is the most important thing.
God is bigger than any church
and cam do anything!
If a church has forgotten you,
let me give you a reminder.
Christ is all you’ll need! He’s your provider!
He can do what no church could ever do!
He’ll always be your friend,
and will never leave you!
