Because Of Jesus

Several months ago, Bro. Jerry Bouey wrote  some  lyrics and sent them to me. I made a few small changes as I set them to music.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I was lost and all alone,

Jesus melted my heart of stone;

Now there's a wonderful change within;

My heart's renewed, I can reach out again;
~

Because of Jesus, I know that I love you.

Because of Jesus, I want the best for you......

He did a work within my heart;

His love He did impart.

I love you - because of Jesus.
~

There was a time I didn't care.

My heart was wounded beyond repair;

But then God's Spirit worked within;

And he repaired all the hurt caused by sin;
~

Because of Jesus, I know that I love you.

Because of Jesus, I want the best for you......

He did a work within my heart;

His love He did impart.

I love you - because of Jesus.

~

There's a change I now can see;

He healed my heart - He set me free;

Transformed by Love eternally.

I love you - because of Jesus.

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Matthew 6:21

It is the time we spend investing in the lives of others that will make the difference to them - in time and in eternity - the time we spend representing Jesus and being like Him in this dark world.

Matthew 9:36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
Jude 1:21-23 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
