Analysis of Telling it like it is. Life with Jesus.
You have heard me out
I’m a Friend devout
And I take this time
To tell you Jesus lives.
He has hope in store
Healing, comforts more
And assurance heavenly
He gladly gives.
Dump the long list sad
Deeds and words so bad.
He is willing to start over
With you Friend.
But you love your lusts
Habits, sins a bust.
Now repentance is a choice
So don’t pretend.
Here’s a pocket of Luke
Just a tad from the Book
You will see an active, blessing
Lonely, hurting, lost
Found relief, no cost
And a chance to pass to Jesus
All their pride.
