"BEFORE MY SPIRIT DIES"

I'm so very glad, you picked me up, I've been laying here so long.
Please take the time, to read my words, They will not lead you wrong.

I'll unlock a little secret friend, To the happiness you seek.
Even though your life, seems upside down, It only needs a tweak.

If you don't know Jesus as your Lord, I've detected what you need.
He wants to forgive, your sins today, No matter what the deed.

You might think, that what you've done in life, Is too bad to forgive.
But sin is sin, to Jesus Christ, He wants to help you live.

So if you want, to live my friend, just confess your sins to him.
He waits for you, with outstretched arms, While you're hanging on that limb.

He died for you, upon that cross, So that when this day arrived.
His blood would wash away your sins, And your spirit would be revived.

Don't be too proud, to make him Lord, While time is running out.
He's waiting now, to show you friend, What his love is all about.

If you've never felt true love before, Then strap your seatbelt tight.
And pray this simple prayer with me, And feel his Awesome might.

Prayer

Lord I'm empty, way down deep inside, Please fill me with your love.
My life is filled with awful sins, That I want to climb above.

Please forgive my sins, I ask today, And make me just like new.
Please fill me with your Spirit now, That special thing you do.

I make you Lord, of my life today, A child forever yours.
I accept your gift, and eternal home, That lies through Heaven's doors.

I thank you for these words today, That you guided to my eyes.
And thank you Lord, for reaching me, Before my spirit dies.

AMEN
