LIFE HAS MEANING
You have been searching so long for the meaning of life,
And all you have found is anger, hurting and strife,
But deep down within something tells you there is more,
Than what you have seen or experienced before.
You’ve been seeking someone to love the real you,
But it’s all ended in rejection and hurting too,
And all you have wanted is to know someone is there,
To share precious moments with and show they care.
You thought you might find the answers sleeping around,
But this was not the place where love could be found,
And all you found was you gained a reputation,
Increasing that feeling of hopelessness, and rejection.
You turned to drugs or alcohol and you found addiction,
At one point you tried religion but you found man’s tradition,
And still you were searching, believing there must be more,
Yet all you found was that life seemed a real bore.
Thoughts have tormented you as to life’s purpose,
And you’ve ended with the conclusion that it’s pointless,
And you’ve heard men speak of heaven and hell,
But you believed if you lived a good life all would be well.
I want to tell you that someone really loves the real you,
It does not matter where you have been or who you have been with,
This love is unconditional and comes with forgiveness.
For God sent his son to die on Calvary’s cross for you.
The message my friend is that God and Jesus love you,
God wants to restore a loving relationship with you,
He offers a free gift of salvation to you if you believe,
Come to Jesus today and you will a new life receive.
For you dear friend were created with a purpose,
Before time began God saw the day you would be born,
He saw you there and it was you he chose,
And all heaven will party when you are reborn.
Every hurt, all your fears, all your pain he wants to wash away,
The blood Jesus shed for you was for you to be made whole,
And he is in the business of healing every hurt in you today,
You need to come to Jesus though, making him Lord.
So please take heed and find real meaning in your life,
By finding a new life without all the hurting and strife,
For God is our Heavenly father and wants to lavish his love upon you,
Will you accept his love, grace and mercy which is crying out for you..
Father God stands with his arms open wide saying “ Come home to me,
I have always loved you, I have seen ever hurt and all your tears,
I have seen your struggles for I have watched you throughout the years,
And I always cared, numbering even the hairs in your head can’t you see?
I want you to know that when you come to me I will never reject you,
The desire of my heart has always been for you my child to love me too,
I want to wipe away all your tears, and rid you of all of your fear,
My Son Jesus died that you and I might now be reconciled here.
Something called sin caused a separation between you and I,
It was to pay the price for your sins that the Lord Jesus did surely die.
Now I want you to come and accept Jesus as your Lord today,
You will be forgiven of all you have ever done, your sins washed away.
So come to me today, I want to lavish my love upon you,
The Holy Spirit will come and reside in you, strengthening you,
Revealing more through a still small voice and the Word, helping you see,
How you can now walk closely in relationship with me.
I have promised to give an abundant life, life in all it’s fullness,
Your needs I will supply, but I have not promised it will all be easy,
But you will never again feel you are totally alone throughout life’s journey,
For I promise to be with you guiding and helping you each step of the way.
And I want you to know what it is to be totally free,
Free to live a life of joy and peace that you have yet to know,
A knowledge of a sure and certain future which you will see,
Come to me today, and remember that I have always loved you so.”
