HOW
I LOVE JESUS
September
8, 1973
When I think of Jesus’ suffering
It makes me very, very sad
To think all of His Children
Are so very, very bad
When I was a
young man
Of course I had to work for a living
But since I am now old and gray
I spend most of my time in giving
I like to
make people happy
In any way that I can
So I have found the only way
Is to be a perfect Gentleman
When I say
perfect I do not mean
With out spot or blemish am I
But for Jesus sake I try to do
Everything right as I go by
When we go
for our walk each day
I have Jesus right in my heart
And as long as I keep Him there
He will never, never depart
I also Pray
for my Family
That they may rest peaceful at night
And when the morning comes
Every one is perfectly all right
It’s easy
to live for Jesus alone
When you have no work to do
But when you work all day long
It’s not easy between me and you
I am closing
this Poem now
With a Heart full of love
And waiting very patiently
To be with Jesus above
