I have found a love that pardons
I have found some stripes that heal
And have found strength for all my weaknesses
Have found grace to cover all my sins

Its in Jesus
Only Jesus

Rock of salvation
A firm foundation
Its in Jesus

He′s the one
Rock of salvation
A firm foundation

It's in Jesus

@Andiv67

one problem, one hope, one prayer, one scripture, one day, one service, one step, one song at a time...and one day...someone will be saying to you...i want to love God like you he does make me feel good inside but i'm afraid i can't commit myself fully to God without a falling back into sin, any advice. JUST KEEP WALKING AND CALLING HIS NAME. HE WILL LEAD YOU AND GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH...MORE THAN ANYTHING HE'S REAL, HE LOVES YOU, HE'S NOT A LIAR, AND HE DIED TO BRING YOU BACK TO HIM.
