JESUS SAVES

REWRITE 3/29/2019
Safe travels and many blessings, every day,
writing and lighting every step of the way.
One step at a time and you'll be fine,
with God's love which shall never decline.

When we need His hugs He gives indeed.
We need not whine, we need not plead
No respecter of person, His love is complete,
yet we forget him as we cross the quiet street

Gentle He nudges and seeks our attention,
we repent therefore and don’t wind up in detention
He has our best interest in his heart and plans,
like insurance we’re in very very good hands

Our blessings from heaven, gifts from Him,
these aren’t bestowed just on a whim,
We learn of Him and His many ways,
then quickly we decide to go to pray.

He smiles and gives blessings to us,
and, now We're really beginning to trust.
Praying mighty prayers for our salvation,
and for those, waiting in His train station.

None to loose He wants each one.
Hopefully many will believe in HIs son.
It’s our choice we know in our hearts,
God wants us close and not apart.

When our time on earth is done.
We’ll go to heaven our place won.
With Him our time, eternal and nice
His gift for us, not to pay the price

Jesus came to earth to save.
All believers should really be brave.
Tell His story, that it is true.
Jesus wants to be with you.

Safe travels, many blessings, for you each day,
Writing and lighting along the way.
One step at a time and you'll be fine.
With God's love shall not decline.

When we need His hugs indeed.
We need not whine, we need not plead
No respecter of person, His love complete
Yet we forget him as we cross the street

Gentle He nudges and saks our attention
We repent don’t wind up in detention
He has our best interest in his plans
Like insurance we’re in very good hands

Our blessings from heaven gifts from Him
These aren’t bestowed just on a whim
As we learn of His many ways
We quickly decide to go to pray

He smiles and gives blessings to us
We are really beginning to trust
Praying mighty prayers for salvation
For those waiting in the station

None to loose He wants each one
Hopefully many will believe in HIs son
It’s our choice we know in our heart
God wants us not to be apart

When our time on earth is done
We’ll go to heaven and have lots of fun
With Him our time eternal and nice
A gift for us not to pay the price

Jesus came to earth to save
All believers should really be brave
Tell His story that it is true
Jesus wants to be with you
