On Falling in Love with Jesus

On Falling in Love with Jesus

Oh! Every day’s a new day

To fall in love with Jesus

Early on when dawn is just begun,

When the promise of the day

Seems a million miles away,

For

The falling trick is more than half the fun

Every hurdle, every rock

Can be just a place to stop

And decide to simply

Turn it all around.

For when you’ve got a glimpse

When you’re enamored by the prince

Don’t plant your feet

Too firmly on the ground.

Put your head back in the clouds

And ignore the swirling crowds

Who would taunt or tease your heart

Back to their goals.

Pause a sec and recollect

It’s a new day – what the heck

You can think or even shout

You can really let it out

I’ll fall in love with Jesus once again. 

Every slight and slur and roadblock

Can a reminder be

That he fell in love with me

And was nailed to a tree

So that I could simply be His Precious Dove.

So I’ll stop and wait and listen

As days turn into weeks

Yes, I’ll use the tears that glisten

On my cheeks

To cleanse my heart of hatred, fear and blame,

As he gently calls my name.

See He holds His arms out wide

So that I can slip inside.

And I’ll fall in love with Jesus

That’s my game.

I just fell in love with Jesus once again

And I’ll love Him daily

In my fellow men

In the women that I meet

At the spiritual retreat

As well as all the homeless on the street.

In the birds and squirrels and house pets

And some creatures I’ve nt met yet

For I’ve fallen for Him, good and sure and true.

Now I’ll offer you an invite

To relax - - don’t be so uptight.

Take a walk and not a pill

You’ll find He loves you still,

Let the tumult

And the strife

Lie where they lay.

Don’t pick them up

To wrestle once again.

Conflict is not yours, you never bought it

And God knows you never sought it.

Let it lie there

At their feet and turn away.

Let them honor their own pain

While

You

Just

Fall in love with Jesus once again

Peace, Joy, and abounding love!  Kack Nugent
