Jesus Is Waiting

If every person in this world

Would take the time to see

The beauty that God created

How amazing this would be.



The sun in all its brightness

He made to light the day

The moon and all the countless stars

At night to lead your way.



The majesty of mountains

The golden fields of grain

The sweetness of a bird's song

A rainbow after rain.



The rustling of the leaves of trees

The slightest breath of wind

Are these just God's reminders

Of the love He wants to send?



So if you don't know Jesus

But you want Him in your heart

He doesn't want to lose you

So you must do your part.



He's always there and waiting

He's listening for your voice

He wants to be your Savior

But He lets you make the choice.



He only wants what's best for you

And He wants you for His own

To live with Him in glory

To share His Heavenly home.



So when you feel a yearning

For something more you need

Jesus is holding out His hand

Just reach for it, He'll lead.



All sins will be forgiven

And you can start anew

If only you will just believe

That Jesus died for you.



That God His Holy Father

Raised Him from the dead

Now He lives and reigns in heaven

Just as the scriptures said.



Your life will be completely changed

When you are born anew

Because you have His promise

That He'll come back for you.



This life on earth is nothing

Compared to what's in store

You can't begin to comprehend

What God planned long before.



No more tears or pain or sorrow

Will you ever have to face

When at last you make it home

To dwell in God's own grace.



You'll meet your Savior face to face

And kneel before His throne

To worship Him forever

In your everlasting home.
