How often have you wondered from inside yourself:
Could it be really true
That the Creator and Master of the whole Universe
Cares for me and you?
Doesn't He have more important things to do than
To pardon a worm like me?
Then tell me in his word that my Salvation
Is absolutely free?
Doesn't He Know How bad I've been, I've lied
And used every curse?
And that is just a small part of it
For I have done much worse.
Oh tell me, can it be true that Jesus
took my place
When He was whipped and beaten
And slapped in the face?
Can you be serious when you say that Jesus
was God's own Holy Son,
Who died on a cross for the worst sinner?
Say, I know I am that one.
What did you say I must do to be worthy
of His blood,
And lift my longing soul out of the muck
And the mire and the mud?
Is it true that this same Jesus
Rose up from the grave
And I am one of the ones that Jesus
Came to save?
In spite of my sin and shame, can Jesus
Love me anyhow?
And if I say Lord Jesus Forgive me
and save me now,
That He will hear from heaven and
cleanse away my sin,
make my soul forever free and
Make me new within?
Then I accept you as Lord,
Jesus come into my heart,
Take complete charge of my life
And give me a complete new start.
