When I Gave My Heart To Jesus
When I Gave My Heart to Jesus…
When I gave my heart to Jesus, I didn’t know what to expect!
There were many things in my past, that I wanted to forget!
As a young boy, there was one day that I made my decision!
I wanted to live for Jesus and give him my full attention!
I remember as a young boy, how I served God with a passion!
As I look back now, this seems to some, as “old fashioned.”
I remember how many times, I knelt before my bed to pray!
I wanted to ask God to forgive my sins and wash them away!
I remember the times I was excited to read the Holy Bible.
I wanted to read about the true God! Not a false idol!
I wanted to learn about the mighty deeds God did in the past.
And wanted to hear about a treasure in Christ, that will last!
I’m so thankful of the many memories that I had back then.
As I get older, it seems harder to focus on all of this again!
My prayer life doesn’t seem like how it used to be.
And very seldom do I ask God to forgive me.
I need to get back to the same God that I once knew!
And allow his word to make my life renewed!
Please Lord Jesus, come and fill me with
your passion and desire!
In all that I do, that I’ll lift your name up higher!
Please come sweet Jesus! And light the Holy fire within!
That I may fall in love with you, once again!
You’ve proved yourself beyond all of my expectations!
By your beauty, and the wonders of your salvation!
For everything you’ve done, I want to thank you!
You’ve given me another chance…
And I LOVE you!
