Lord Jesus I Ask You (Poem) Poem by Dave Tanguay

Born in a manger in a stable with cattle and sheep to keep
Him warm
The child Jesus was born - a birth taken place to bring about
Reform

From his childhood, he knew he was the son of God sent to
Deliver us from evil
For this child called Jesus would bring about a great social
Upheaval

He worked as a carpenter before he began to deliver his
Sermons
He spoke to people in all walks of life - to reach them he
Was determined

Performing miracles such as raising the dead and giving
Sight to the blind
Rejecting temptation from the devil, he knew he was sent
For all of humankind

The suffering on the cross would wash away all of our sins
His death and resurrection was where the story all begins

For God so loved the world he gave his only begotten son
This life sacrificed was a sacred act for everyone

Lord Jesus I ask you to come into my life - let me do your
Will
Let me help carry out your deeds so all your promises be
Fulfilled
