On The Rock's
 
 
 
 

I have a friend named Jesus.
His friendship is the bridge in the canyon in life.

He is the beacon in the dark.
The lighthouse that keeps us from crashing on the rocks
on the stormy sea's of life.

You can count on Jesus to reach out of the dark
and help us through.

If you teeter toter on the Word of God, and
Satan will knock at the door of your heart.
And if Jesus answers he will flee. Zoom! Zoom!

And off you go down America's highways and byways.
And soon you don't think there's room for
God's Word in your life.

And then it happens. "Boom."

You have strayed, and Satan is leading you by
the nose ring and life gets dark.
If you feel you have lost your way, then pray.
God has a 1 800 # and a 24 hour Hotline just for you.

The end is not here yet and you still have time.
I have a friend named Jesus and you should to.
And like my parent, and brothers He is waiting for you.

His word is the last word and He is the light that keep's
you off the rocks of life's stormy weather.

And He loves you too!

So take the time and get on line.
He is waiting for you.

I have a friend named Jesus, do you?
