\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eyes glazed over not able to see<\/h6>\n
The Spirit of God was wooing me\u2026<\/h6>\n
Funny, buzzing sound, around my ear<\/h6>\n
Swatting at nothing, nothing I hear\u2026<\/h6>\n
Blind, but not knowing that I cannot see<\/h6>\n
There\u2019s someone watching and following me\u2026<\/h6>\n
Whispering, \u201cCome, come and receive<\/h6>\n
A special gift, it\u2019s one you need\u2026\u201d<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
Suzie my friend said, \u201cYou wanna go to church?<\/h6>\n
They talk about Jesus and\u00a0his very special birth\u2026\u201d<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve never been to church what\u2019s it like?\u201d I say.<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
\u201cOh it\u2019s exciting and happy especially when we pray.\u201d<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
\u201cOk I guess so; I\u2019ll go with you next Sunday.\u201d<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
Head pounding, knees shaking, there\u2019s a strange feeling in my heart.<\/h6>\n
I\u2019ve never heard all this before–<\/h6>\n
The man said Jesus, is knocking at my hearts door.<\/h6>\n
Is that why my heart beats so, and if it is, then I want to know\u2026\u201d<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
Taking steps forward, down the long walk I go\u2026<\/h6>\n
Straight up to the pastor, \u201cSir I want to know\u2026<\/h6>\n
Who is this Jesus, and how does he get in my heart?\u201d<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
\u201cLittle lady its simple, bow your head and we will start; repeat after me.\u201d<\/h6>\n
\u201cLord, I\u2019m a sinner and I need to be saved. Come into my heart and I\u2019ll obey. Make me a new creation, transform my soul. So that I can live, like you live Jesus, and let everybody know. Come into my heart, and let me love you the most, in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.\u201d<\/em><\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
That buzzing sound I\u2019ve been hearing wasn\u2019t a bug at all\u2026it was just Jesus wanting me to respond to his loving, caring, call\u2026<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
Saved and redeemed, I\u2019ve learned since then\u2026life\u2019s so much better when we begin\u2026<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
New born in heaven, new born on earth\u2026I am forgiven and of great worth\u2026<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
I\u2019m a child of the King, my journey is secure, and with that intact, I\u2019ve got everything!<\/h6>\n
