The Lord came a-Knockin'

The Lord Jesus Christ came a knockin' one day
Upon the heart of a man gone astray.
The man answered gruff,
"I want to stay will all my stuff,"
said he to the Lord "Go away.
I don't need you today."
The next day Jesus came back
Hoping sense the man didn't lack
He knocked again with the same request
"Let me into your heart and be the best,"
but the Lord received the same reply.
"Too busy am I,"
said he. "Go away
I don't need you today."
The following day the man ended up sick, and on his death bed he lay.
"Lord I need you, help I say."
In his heart he opened the door,
but the Lord was there no more.
The man shouted out for he.
Then came the Lord's reply "You called me?"
"I thought you left, gone for good."
"Never will, never would
do you know now what you should
do? Repent and start anew."
"I can change Lord, please don't let me go out like this.
I was wrong, it's you I miss.
I don't need anything but you,
I know now that is true."
The Lord smiled and the man's heart he entered in,
on the man's face came a grin.
He told anyone in the hospital who would listen,
how he just became a Christian.
With his last breath he told the news
how with God in your heart you couldn't lose."

Choosing...

I am at an impasse between darkness and light
what is wrong and what is right.
A man stands in front of me and one behind.
The one in back wants to rule my mind, the other seems very kind.
I still can't decide
with whom do I abide?
The man in darkness, Satan, he is
says to the other that I am his.
Satan tell of past things I've done.
The other, God, He's called, says that's why He sent His son.
If I believe that what He says is true,
He'll forgive what I do,
as long as I say I'm sorry, and won't do it twice
He promises it will be very nice.
Satan yells and pouts
"She is mine," he shouts.
God smiled, "She can choose," said he.
"Yes," Satan says. "Who to go with you or me."
Satan thinks I will come to Him
and tries to make me cater to his whim.
"See here," he says to me. "Remember the fun sinning, how happy you were,
you won't have fun with him for sure."
I do remember the fun I had.
How I was, it made me sad
I had no respect for God, I saw
I didn't listen to his law.
I knew now what was wrong and what was good
and knew I had to do what I should.
"Satan," I said to my former friend.
"This is the end.
I learned my lesson, that is true,
and I am done with you
I believe in Jesus, God's only son
and he is the only one
to help me to get God's love and kindness,
something I miss.
I need it to complete me
He's the only way, now I see."
Satan begged me to stay,
at least for one more day.
I said "No way, no how.
I have to leave right now."
I stepped out of darkness into light
from wrong to right.
I am now God's daughter through the blood of Jesus Christ His son,
one day all will see that God is the only one
that offers mercy, grace, kindness, and love,
He will fill your soul with the gift from above.
