My deepest longing for you, my friend,

Is not for silver or gold…

Not for houses or land, or material things…

Not for great wealth and riches untold.

 

Not for men’s applause,

Nor for world-wide fame…

But that you my friend,

Would call on His name!

 

I want you to come to Heaven you see..

To that beautiful land

Where forevermore you’ll be free!

 

God sent His Son, to this world here below,

When Jesus was born

On that night-long ago.

 

Then Jesus died

On that rugged old cross

To pay for man’s sin

So we wouldn’t be lost.

 

My friend, 

please don’t let that death be in vain…

That death so terrible…

that Cross, so Blood-stained!

 

He did it for you.  

He did it for me.

Accept Him today, 

And be forever set free!
