Come to God Now (March 7, 2012)
By Allan Thomasson

I once was thinking I was lost,
And I would have to pay the cost
Of sins that I had done while I was young.

I prayed to God ‘most every night,
To see if I could get things right.
‘To no avail!’, I thought when morn was come.

For with my mouth, I still was speaking
Not so well: those words kept sneaking
Past my mind, and through my oral space.

I’d given up, when naught was changing,
So I started rearranging:
For in hell, I’d still be so disgraced.

I’d try to get too close to fire,
To get used to it, my desire,
I could not get that pit out of my mind.

I guess that I was giving up,
For only sin was in my cup;
When, then a tugging at my heart I find;

For God was telling me to ‘Come,
And I will save you; be My son.’
And did I waste a second? No, not me!

For this is what my heart was needing!
To His voice, I found me heeding!
To the altar I did quickly flee!

Don’t give up, He’s calling you.
I know He is! He called me, too.
I didn’t know that He had heard me pray.

But come to Him, and give your heart;
And He will help you make your start
In your new life with Him: so start today.

Now I look back, recall the day
That Jesus took my sins away.
I’m not the best, but He gave me His love.

No longer do I dread to die,
For now, this is the reason why:
I shall be with Him in my home above.
