Robert Johnson Poet Free verse

Thank God For Jesus

Innocence doesn't live here anymore.
We've grown up to find out some things.
Tomorrow comes no matter what.
It's not a wonder lifes like tangled vines.

If it wasn't for Jesus, what would we do?
Thank God we don't have to answer that.
Crosses hang everywhere you look.
Reminding us his love for us.

Thank God for Jesus, we live again.
All we've done wrong will be forgotten.
I hope my fellow man can find.
The grace inside that God intended.

Let's hope the vines don't choke our spirits.
It's not easy to make our way.
So many of us get bound up.
But in the end, we are set free.
