I Have A Burden
by Barbara Philbrook

I have a burden it's to spread God's precious word,
I want to deliver it to those who haven't yet heard.

Salvation is free but it must be your own choice,
God is patiently waiting to hear you say it with your very own voice.

I can't do it for you  but out of love I would if I could,
God in His wisdom has made it your own choice as He should.

I can't make your choice but I can tell you it's there,
I can tell you God is so loving and so perfectly fair.

God will not force even a chance to be in Heaven on you,
making that choice is something that we each must do.

I can tell you that Salvation is the greatest Love Story ever told,
open your Bible and ask God it's truths to unfold.

I can invite you to seek the truths that they may be known,
and I can guarantee you that the truths you will be shown.

I can tell you about the joy of knowing Jesus as your personal Savior,
and I can guarantee He loves you despite your current behavior.

I can promise you that if you call on him he will definitely hear,
and then the Holy Spirit moves in and starts the changes once He is there.

Please don't listen to any lies that you have heard,
Jesus wants you to call on him  you don't have to wait until the changes  have occurred.

The Heavenly Host are all waiting with expectancy,
and are filled with glorious songs each time they hear of acceptance from one such as you or me.

So study the word so that you may make the right choice,
and when we get home together we too will rejoice.
