Give Your Heart to Jesus

Lyrics by Dennis L. Harrison

You get up every morning cause your body is a warnin,
     And you’re so glad that you are still breathin.
You wanna get a job ’cause you need a problem solved.
     You know you can’t keep on dealin.

You’ve been hangin all around ’cause you’re feelin’ kinda down-
     Lookin’ for all kinds of pleasure.
You’re in a downward spin, and your life is full of sin.
     And you’ve become an abuser.

Why don’t you give your heart to Jesus?
     Don’t you wait!
Give you heart to Jesus; don’t hesitate.
     Why don’t you give your heart to Jesus?
How about today?
     Give your heart to Jesus; it ain’t too late.

You started out okay, just a-gettin’ through the day—
     Always lookin’ forward to the weekend.
And when your job was done, at the setting of the sun,
     That’s when you would start all the drinkin.

Everything was fine—just a little beer or wine.
     At first, it would numb all those feelings.
You needed something stronger, and it didn’t take much longer.
     You’d start your self-medicating.

Why don’t you give your heart to Jesus?
     Don’t you wait!
Give you heart to Jesus; don’t hesitate.
     Why don’t you give your heart to Jesus?
How about today?
     Give your heart to Jesus; it ain’t too late.

Well, here you are in prison
     Or some lowly wayside mission—
Feelin’ lots of condemnation.
     Why don’t you start believin?
His grace is what you’re needin.
     You know we all need salvation.

When you give your life to Him,
     Your new life will begin.
Don’t you know it’s about restitution?
     Get in the Word; His precepts you observe.
There won’t be no more abusin.

Why don’t you give your heart to Jesus?
     Don’t you wait!
Give you heart to Jesus; don’t hesitate.
     Why don’t you give your heart to Jesus?
How about today?
     Give your heart to Jesus; it ain’t too late.
