WHY NOT TRY THE LORD

By Charles C. Robey Sr.

You have tried and tried but failed to find real happiness in the things that will soon pass away.
But you'll never find sweet peace or be wonderfully blest until all on the alter you lay.
Why not try the Lord
Earthly friends will not prove true, in time of great need and fail when on them you depend.
You can find a friend in Christ who will be a friend indeed He will stay by your side to the end.
Why not try the Lord
You may seek to find relief from toils and cares of life, With the things that will not satisfy.
They will only bring you grief in a world full of strife, So why not seek a home on high.
Yes, why not try the Lord.

You say you've tried it all, to get that everlasting peace. And, the peace never came. Well, have you tried God's plan. What, never heard of God's plan for your life. It's so simple, to you it may not seem real. It is all based of two words, Grace and Faith. You see God's grace is waiting to bring you too Him. All you need is your Faith. Check out this Bible verse.

Ephesians 2:8-9
New International Version (NIV)
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
