ASK HIM

AS I THINK OF MY DAYS PAST.
THE PAIN AND HURT I FELT.
I KNEW IT COULD NOT LAST.
BUT THE TRUTH I CAN NOT MASK.

WHAT I HAVE DONE IT WAS WRONG.
IT WAS A LIFE OF CRIME AND SIN.
MY KIDS PLEASE DON'T FOLLOW ALONG.
JUST LOOK AT ME AND WHERE I'V BEEN.

YOU'LL WIND UP WITHOUT ANYTHING BUT SHAME.
SO LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY.
AND TURN YOUR LIFE THE OTHER WAY.
IF YOU DON'T YOU'LL HAVE YOURSELF TO BLAME.

AND YOUR HEART WILL MELT AWAY.
DON'T GO OUT LIKE THIS TODAY.
FOLLOW THE LORD IT'S THE ONLY WAY.
SO PLEASE ASK HIM INTO YOUR HEART.

BELEIVE ME HE WILL DO HIS PART.
HE WILL LEAD YOU AWAY FROM THIS LIFE OF SIN.
A PLACE I HAVE NEVER BEEN, BUT I'D LIKE TO START.
TODAY I ASK HIM INTO MY HEART.
