I Can Count on Jesus!

I Can Count On Jesus!

 

Jesus was there…. When my life hit

“rock bottom.”

All of my problems and worries… 

He reached out and “caught them.”

 

He was there,  when I felt lonely

 and was frightened.

His love shined through, and my life

was “enlightened.”

 

He was there, after all of my

“friends” disappeared…

His love for me became

so evident and clear!

 

He was there,

to take away my sins!

It’s only in Christ… 

Where true fulfillment begins!

 

He was there,   

willing to understand…

For all of my failures...   

He reached out his hand!

 

He’s here right now!

I want to express…

It’s only in him…

Where there’s love and rest!

 

He’s here right now! 

Won’t you open up your heart?

Spending time alone with him…

Is a great place to start!

 

Jesus is here right now! 

And forevermore shall be…

Waiting for you to join him,

 in eternity!

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!
