My Testimony



Salesman

When I came looking for Jesus,

I found Jesus was looking for me.

I could tell that Jesus loved me

And He entered my heart that day,

Yes He did, Oh yes He did,

And He entered my heart to stay.

Now it has been many a year,

Since I met Jesus that wonderful day,

And He has blessed me and kept me

Through all those years, thick and thin,

And now that I am very old,

82 if you wanna know I'm still glad

When a child about 70 years ago,

I met Jesus my Savior and Lord.

He has stayed with me when

times was good and some not so good

And some when I did not know

Where to turn or what to do.

But when I prayed and trusted Him

Jesus always made it so things

Always worked out for me
