You ask me how I gave my heart to Christ,
I do not know.
There came a yearning for Him in my soul
so long ago.
I found earths flowers would fade and die.
I wept for something that would satisfy.
And then, and then somehow I seemed to dare
To lift my broken heart to God in prayer.
I do not know, I cannot tell you how,
I only know He is my Saviour now.
Salvation is anyones, just for asking.
All of us are worthy of the God's grace and love!
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Rom 3:23 NIV
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life,
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Rom 6:23 NIV
... not by works, so that no one can boast.
Eph 2:9 NIV
Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name,
He gave the right to become children of God.
John 1:12 NIV
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock.
If anyone hears my voice and opens the door,
I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.
Rev 3:20 NIV
....The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,
that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming.
That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord,"
and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead,"you will be saved."
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified,
and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
Rom 10:8-10,13 NIV
Prayer for Salvation
Dear Lord Jesus,
I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness.
I believe that you died for allsin past, present and future, including my sins.
I now trust that your sacrifice paid for my sins.
I want to turn from my sins and recieve your forgiveness
and your gift of eternal life.
I now invite you to come into my heart and life.
I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior.
Though I know I'll sin again, it is my nature, I know I have forgiveness and can always seek your assurance.
Thank you for dying for me and setting me free!
"It is for freedom, that Christ has set us free. Galatians 5:1
