Unworthy

So many hold back and feel unworthy because of sin.
They hide forbidden secrets and never welcome Jesus in.

Distressed and downhearted, and carrying so much weight;
Never realizing He is standing and waiting by that pearly gate.

Life will have new meaning and Jesus can set you free.
All sins will be forgiven and worthy you can be.
For, One, who was worthy, shed His blood on Calvary.

Some wait until they are sick and ready to die.
Repentance is theirs. On that you can, always, rely.

Life will have a new meaning. On that you can believe.
Rejoice and know that Jesus is here and He will never leave.

Feeling unworthy, for Satan spreads guilt and shame,
No longer sin covered ~ but buried in His name.

Forgiven and worthy every time you call out His name;
He forgave Mary Magdalene, rose Lazarus form the grave...
Healed the blind man, the women at the well,
Healed the sick and the lame.
Now, I feel worthy and my life will never be the same.
