"The burden is too heavy ~

I'd rather just be dead

My life is not worth living " ~

Is that what you just said?

"The song I once lov'd singing ~

lies bitter on my tongue

sweet melody grown sour ~

brought joy when I was young " !

"Dark shadows now my portion ~

crawl freely o'er my mind

my cherish'd dreams now ashes ~

life can be so unkind " !

"Hope that once sustain'd my heart ~

now such a mockery

record plays discordant sounds ~

"What fools we mortals be" !

Oh ~ let me touch your hand ~

now please ~ don't turn away

I know the pain seems endless ~

I beg you ~ let me stay !

You need not share the secrets ~

that brought you to this place

I've walk'd where you are walking ~

worn sackcloth of disgrace !

"The Enemy" dealt the crushing blow ~

that brought me to my knees

GRACE look'd beyond my faults ~

let me introduce HIM, please !

He is the Son of Righteousness ~

Mercy is His specialty

HE took upon Himself mankind's ~

debt of iniquity.

See the scars upon His brow ~

the nail prints in His hands

Ah ~ friend, meet Jesus Christ ~

your pain He understands !

He'll gladly come into your heart ~

and change your life today

He is no fair~weather Friend

His love is here to stay !

His blood still cleanses every stain ~

there's nothing He can't do

He restor'd my empty, brok'n life

He'll do the same for you !

"Thank you" ~ no need for thanks ~

sweet friend ~ my privilege to share

my reward ~ your life restored ~

Treasured Gift ~ answered prayer !

Therefore if any man be in

Christ, he is a new creature:

old things are passed away;

behold, all things are become new.

And all things are of God,

who hath reconciled us to

himself by Jesus Christ, and

hath given to us the

ministry of reconciliation

II Corinthians 5:17~18
