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!”

THE MOST PRECIOUS GIFT

“To give your heart ta Christ, submit ta him. Confess habitual errors, ask for grace. Believe that he can help ya, ask Him in – why not right here, right now, This time and place? He wants a close relationship with you, and he can help ya out o’ any bind. Ta trust in Christ's the Smartest thing ta do, for health, for wisdom, strength, and peace o’ mind. So, friend, why any longer, now, delay? You’ve got a burden Jesus Christ can lift! Yes, He can Save ya, here and now today, the here-and-now’s the Lord’s most precious gift!” Can ya dig it?
