LYRICS:
You could have stayed where You were,
In the glory that You knew before earth’s creation,
But You put it all away,
For there was no other way to redeem Your creation,
So You came to earth as a Man and lived
A life without sin;
Then You died and then rose again
And made a way for us to come in.

CHORUS
Lord Jesus, Lord Jesus,
I thank You for Your part.
Lord Jesus, Lord Jesus,
Come into my heart.

As I’m walking day by day
Along that narrow way of life everlasting,
Oh, Lord, be my perfect Guide.
Don’t let me run and hide from the trials and testing.
Keep Your Light on all that I say and think
And on all that I do,
So that when You return on that day,
O Lord, I may be found in You.

CHORUS
Lord Jesus, Lord Jesus,
I’m ready for a brand new start.
Lord Jesus, Lord Jesus,
Come into my heart.

STORY: This song was one of my early ones, begun in 1989 and finished in 1990. It was influenced by the "background tape anthems" of which I heard many at First Baptist Church in my first year there.
