A LETTER TO JESUS

Dear Jesus I went down to the Altar today,
Knowing in my heart, You'd wash my sins away:
It filled my heart with wonder, as I confessed, I believe,
And into Thy Glorious Kingdom, my soul, Thou did receive.

Help me walk the path You set before me,
And the lightness of Thy Kingdom, let my heart see,
So I might go tell others, what befell me on that day,
As I received Thee into my heart, these words I had to say.

Help me my Lord to count my blessings, each and every day,
Thank Thee for the many wonders, in Thy Book You have to say,
About the road to salvation, how there's no other way,
Except through the name of Jesus, when we accept Him and pray.

Help me to tell others of Thy meekness, and share,
All the goodness of Thy Spirit, as we kneel down in Prayer:
Help me, my lantern to keep lit each day,
Which unto others will surely light the way.

Keep my candle glowing, so the darkness can't be near,
All brightness for my brethern, Thy sweet words to hear,
From now on 'til forever, on Thy bosom let me rest, with zeal,
As I know, when I claimed Jesus as Lord, my soul, Thou did seal.
