An original song written July 10, 1993 - following my morning Bible study. On April 10, 1970, I asked the Lord Jesus Christ into my heart at the age of 10. I struggled with accepting that Jesus had come into my heart, just for the asking. I dont know what I expected, but whatever it was, it just didnt happen. I imagined myself becoming instantly perfect - face shining like Moses, a choir of angels singing around me. .but, everything stayed the same. I looked the same, I felt the same, I didnt hear a choir of angels and I was far from perfection - What went wrong? Why didnt I feel Jesus in my heart? My Granny told me that It is the same as if a friend came to the door and knocked and I told them to come in, but didnt unlock the door - they would not be able to come in. If I wanted them to come in I would have to unlock the door - well, she explained, it is the same way with Jesus; if I wanted Him to come into my heart I would have to unlock the door to my heart first. In other words, I would have to believe that He would come into my heart if I asked Him. So in my child-like faith, I told Jesus I believe He is in my heart and as soon as I professed my faith, I felt Jesus presence inside of me by way of the peace that was inside of me. I turned away from Jesus by about the age of 12 years and lived my life for myself from then on until the age of 31 years. In June 1991 I rededicated my life to Jesus and was water baptized April 9, 1992. On the morning that I, inspired by the Holy Spirit, wrote this song I reflected on the years between my commitment to the Lord in 1971 and my re-commitment to the Lord in 1991. I could never last a day without You, I dont know how I ever did. Before I met You my life had no meaning; but then You picked me up and made me Your own. . . .(words to first verse)
