Just Be Yourself
By Barbara Jones
He knew I didn’t know,
He went, where I couldn’t go.
The one who made us all,
Is the only Son of God!
What’s wrong? What do you need?
Just break down, fall on your knees,
Come one, come all, and whosoever,
He’s waiting now what’s the matter?
Laugh, cry, just be yourself,
Not just think, pray, and hope for the best.
Time’s running out tic tok, tic tok…
CHORUS
It’s the third down of your life,
Doing whatever made you laugh,
No drugs, no drink is worth your soul,
I was there like you and kicked a field goal!!
(Shout) Straight to Jesus!!!
You’ve tried them all, and He is jealous,
Come on over, and then go tell them,
“The man upstairs,” His name is “Jesus.”
He cares, and loves, and is NOT against us.
Can’t buy what He gives,
He laid down His life to save,
Not kill you, me, or anyone else
Who made bad choices for ourselves?
Had enough? Worn down deep inside?
I’ve felt like that, thought of suicide.
I dare you to go, like I did to the only One.
You do matter, STOP! Now, don’t you run!
CHORUS
All the guilt and sin will be washed away,
You know, you feel it, don’t turn away.
You don’t know what to do? Do you??
You didn’t know how it’s done, did you?
You don’t like questions or make decisions,
Well, that’s what it takes to get right with Jesus,
Look back remember all you did,
He “whites it out” and makes you clean.
Just close your eyes and bow your head.
Ask God to forgive you of all your sins, I did.
He says, “I AM the way!”
I said, “You made my day!”
Psalm 32:1 “Count yourself lucky, how happy you must be – You get a fresh start. Your slate is wiped clean,” (Message Bible)
P.S. You kicked a “field goal prayer,”
You’re Born Again.
New heart, new beginning and a forever friend, brother till the very end,
Now go tell someone else what you did…I did.
