THE LORD TURNED ME AROUND

The Lord Turned Me Around


I Usedta Git my Kicks by Bein' Crool. I Didn't Care 'bout Love 'n Bein' Kind. I Thought that I was CUTE and Pretty COOL; I Thought I Saw the Truth, but I was Blind! My FaithlessNess, one Day it Made me Sick, and It was Plain that I must Cop, or Die! My Heart an' Mind had Been as Thick as Brick, 'cause All my “RighteousNess” was but a Lie! Ya See, I'd Tried ta Follow All the Rules, ta Be a “Good Boy” – Didn't Know the Lord! But Then I Saw that Praise is Sought by Fools, who Miss the Mark 'cause Jesus they've igNored! The Prince of Peace and Joy is BuddhaChrist; that Love's the Sweetest Love will Ever Be! That Love has Always Longing Hearts sufFiced, and Ev'ry Day that Love sufFices ME!

THE LOVE OF BUDDHACHRIST

The Love of BuddhaChrist

A Love suPreme is Calling Out your Name. PerHaps right Now those Fears you'll Throw aWay; from Now on Out, you'll Never Be the Same, if You'll rePent, and Trust the Lord to-Day.
The World is Waiting Here and Now fer You; and As you Sow, you're Also Gonna Reap; why Don't ya Sow a Little Love that's True, and Then a Little More, and Then a Heap!
That's Really What we All now Need ta Do, if We would See God's Kingdom Start ta Come. I Think that I can Do it, How 'bout You? There's Joy in Giving Ev'ryBody Some!

It's Time ta Lose the Faithless, Fearful Blues; a Little Courage Goes, a Long, Long Way. A Life of Love's the Thing we're s'Posed ta Choose; let's Start by Choosing BuddhaChrist ta-Day!

WHY NOT?

Why Not?
(song lyric)


Oh, Why not Trust the Prince o' Peace ta-Day? Now, You could CALL on Him ta Meet yer Need! And You could Offer Thanks… and Softly Pray, “Lord, Help me Follow AnyWhere you Lead.” Why Any LONGer Go your Hapless Way, your Same old Helpless Slide you've Done so Long? He's Got a Law o' Love ya CAN o-Bey, his Truth ain't NEVer Gonna Steer ya Wrong! His Holy Spirit's Such a Helpful Guide, why don't ya Listen Close an' Follow Through? Why Not surRender All that Foolish Pride, and Find Out Just what Jesus' Love kin Do?
