Jesus Came
by Barbara Philbrook

Jesus came and saved my soul, this fact is very true,
in fact he came to save all sinners including me and you.

Comprehending this act of love is way beyond our reach,
but if we accept this free gift; the Holy Spirit will span the breach.

Understanding this kind of love is impossible on our own,
all it takes is total surrender and God's Love to us is shown.

Accepting God in your life doesn't make living all sweet and easy,
no no quite the opposite my friend, because Satan and his cohorts are quite sleazy.

You see God doesn't force the choice on you,
instead you are free to choose the leading power that you want to.

But Satan is different, he's evil and sly.
He'll steal your soul if you don't accept God before you die.

These are all just facts about salvation,
God desires for us to have with him a perfect relation!

Now "What's the price" you ask, "that I have to pay?"
that's the most amazing part, all you do is pray.

Accept for free what God offers to you,
and an eternity you'll spend with him way beyond the blue.

I know it seems too simple, I once felt that way too,
just reach out and accept the gift,"He's holding out his hand, offering it to you!!
