My Life Needs To Be Renewed

My Love For Jesus Needs To Be Renewed!

I used to tell others of Jesus!
 as a young boy...
Witnessing for Christ,
Is what I enjoyed!

I often spole a time to repent...
I loved to talk about Jesus,
  wherever I went!

As the years went by
and I grew old.
The things of God, I began to get cold.

A coldness in my life, began to stir.
Even God’s word… I no longer heard

I only talked about God to
 people in church.
In my heart, was a hunger
 for a new search.

A search to return to Jesus, my lost love!
I fell on my knees and cried to God above.

 I confessed to God everything!
A new love for him I knew he would bring.

I began to feel his love come all over me.
The chains were now gone! I was set free!

If a coldness for Jesus dwells in you.
Remember his love is faithful and true!

Please come to Jesus 
and be cleansed within!
May my heart be renewed deep within!
