GIVE IT UP TO JESUS

“What Will ya sacrifice ta Christ today? Why not give up your faithlessness and fears! Is that too high a price, ta have ta pay? Such foolishness may bring ya many tears!

“Why not surrender All to Him, right here, 'cause You'll discover freedom, as ya do! Why let the prideful doubting interfere? The Savior Jesus wants ta Rescue you!”

When you're falling Free, you gotta Pull your Parachute Cord: You’re gonna make it, Friend, once you Cop to the Living Lord!
