I Came Back To Jesus!!!
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

I Came Back To Jesus!

 

I heard Jesus call me, but walked away.

I thought; “I may return, but not today.”

 

I thought I’d have another chance to do it.

But as the years have gone by, I “blew it.”

 

I became so wrapped up into

 myself, I didn’t care.

I knew Jesus was waiting and was always there.

 

I was captivated and drawn

away by many things.

I didn’t really care what tomorrow brings.

 

Then, one day, death came knocking at moy door.

I soon wondered what my

 life was meant for.

 

I got on my hands and knees

and to Jesus, I cried.

I wanted to come back to him, I really tried.

 

He came to where I was with

 his arms wide open.

“Come to me, I love you!”  were

the words spoken.

 

I called his name and ran to him

 as fast as I could.

I wanted to really do this, and knew I should!

 

I’m so thankful and blessed that he

 brought me back.

Now, my life is made new and on

 the RIGHT track!

 

I love him as my Lord like I never

 loved before!

He brought abundant life and

  MUCH MORE!!!

About the Poet
I and my wife have 4 grown children and currently live in the Pacific Northwest. I've spent much of my life doing volunteer work in the food distribution for the needy among local churches. Many of the poems I've written are a reflection of times of adversity as a reminder of God's love and faithfulness. I've found many opportunities to share my poems with those who are hurting and discouraged. I'm thankful for the reports of many of the poems touching people's lives. I hope that the poems included on Wordchimes will touch and bless your life too!
