I was browsing thru my old files tonight and I stumble upon a song that I wrote almost six years ago. I can vividly remember myself sitting in my bed with my guitar and a Bible on my side. I did not have anyone with me. Just me. But there is no denying what Christ has done for me. And for you. I finally came to the realization that it is time.
You see, I was born and raised a Catholic. I have always feared God but somehow I feel I am missing something. Not until I came to realize how sinful I was. Regardless of what I do, I cannot please God with my own efforts. No matter what, I have always come up short. But the good news is that, I don’t really have to rely on myself anymore. God had provided a way for me. And the real good news, it is also for you.
It is written in John 3:16 that,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
Here’s the song that I wrote on the night I met Jesus. I was weeping and laughing at the same time. Call me crazy, all I know is that I am free …
