It’s time to be blessed
When my life seemed to be at its worst, a neighbor said to me
Have you tried Christianity?
As I laughed out loud these words squeezed out
I don’t need to add something new to make a mess out of it too
So she handed me a Bible and a concordance
The more I read the more it made sense
This is what I need I believe in this
I was so depressed
Who would have ever guessed
That it was time be blessed
I looked up at God and I began to pray
I said God you have to change the way I live so I don’t feel this way
And God said to me I’m going to change the way you feel so you don’t live that way
I told him that I’m not perfect so don’t expect me to change
He said I accept you as you are that’s why I came
I didn’t come for those who are well
but for those who need my help
He said hold on to me and let me show you what I can do
So I held on tight one step at a time
God changed my life
He came through
It’s been 30 years since that day
I said God I have something to say
you are stuck with me because I can’t live any other way
You are my everything I need you
He said that’s okay that’s why I came
I will never forsake you
Everyday God still comes through
In every way and that’s the truth
You won’t settle for less when you have had the best
When you are born again
it is time to be blessed
About this poem
It is not easy to describe what it is like when you become a born again Christian. It is something that is best when you experience it. It is real and it is good. Nothing can compare to the love that Christ has for us.
