For God so loved
the world that He gave His only Son
That we can be free
from sin and death,
And have life now
begun.
He paid our wages,
although we deserved the grave,
He went 6ft under,
rose again
So that we can be
saved.
Jesus never came
to point the finger or accuse,
Laugh at all your
problems
Just kickin’ it
with His boys,
While you battle
with snake and lose.
He came to redeem,
put right what was wrong,
Dispel darkness,
Bring a brand new song.
A new melody – EVERLASTING
LIFE;
Sing to its rhyme
and have life sublime,
Where you’ll never
walk alone.
He takes us as we
are and not as we should be
Clothed us in His
love, not like Adam with a fig tree.
Jesus is for real,
genuine to the core,
Try Him and you’ll
be begging for more!
You can’t get enough
of Him you see,
The deeper you go,
the more you believe.
Christianity is
a journey and your travelling crew is trust and faith,
Grace and mercy
are there to back you up
If you stumble or
fall out of place.
“ But what about
the snake??!!!” I hear you cry;
“ He’s dogged
me for so long. I’m all bound up in fear,
My chains go
on and on!”
As I’ve said before,
and I’ll say it again
For God so loved
the world that He gave His only Son,
That we can be free
from sin and death
And have new life
begun.
He came to set us
free from sin; give us liberty instead.
The snake has no
power over you
He may bruise our
heel,
But we have the
power to crush his head!
Jesus came to help
you out of your mess,
Fix you up, head
up, shoulders back, walk straight.
It’s not impossible
as the evil one would have you believe,
It’s so simple,
that’s how he’s got you deceived.
He’ll whisper in
you ear and tell you ‘It’s too darn hard
To get up and
cry out “ Help me Lord!!”’
He’ll tell you your
wasting your time,
Everyone will think
you’ve gone mad
If you give your
life to Jesus,
You ain’t nothing
but sad!
Don’t listen to his
lies,
He had his chance
and fled.
He knows it’s your
time to shine
And would rather
see you dead.
- Shut out of the
kingdom, in darkness all alone
Never seeing the
saviour’s face, never going home.
He’d rather see
you walk hot coals,
Than walk the streets
of gold,
Drink from a fountain
of fire, than taste milk and honey and delights untold.
He knows what heaven’s
like,
Probably wishes
he could go back,
But it’s too late
for him,
He sold his light
from sin.
You still have time
to mend your relationship with God,
Don’t throw it away
for tomorrow or some other day.
Make your mind up
now before it’s too late,
Don’t see the door
slammed in your face
And shut out of
heaven’s gate.
As I’ve said before
and I’ll say it again,
For God so loved
the world that He gave His only Son
That we can be free
from sin and death,
And have life now
begun.
