Jesus You
Love Me
by
Barbara Philbrook
Jesus, you
love me this I know,
I looked in the Bible the truth of this it did show.
Now I'm
not worthy of even a second thought from you,
but your love has touched me through and through.
You've
sent the Holy Spirit into my heart,
wonderful new changes in me to start.
Hours and
hours on past sorrows I used to dwell,
Now I spend all of my hours writing verses so others I
can tell.
I want to
tell others of what you did for me,
and of course the story of salvation and that it's free.
Some
people haven't yet heard that you left your home there,
to come and die that we may live in heaven with you your
glory to share.
The story
is so simple yet so lovingly true,
you gave your life to pay for our sin so we could go home
with you.
You
offered this gift as a gesture of love,
then went home to your father making mansions for us
above.
When
everyone in each corner of this world has heard,
when we have completely spread the word.
Then you
can come on clouds from your throne above,
and gather us all together to live forever in your love.
In the
home you have made for us there,
there'll be no sickness, pain, sorrow, or fear.
Lord, I
surrender all that I am or could be for you to use,
putting my thoughts on paper to be shared in whatever way
you choose.
And if
perchance anyone has picked up this paper and been
touched by this
short story, then praise be to God because to him belongs
the glory.
