Going to church is an action, but being part of God’s people is an identity.
"Church people" show up for services, but God’s people are the Church—we are His living body, called to live, love, and shine for Him everywhere we go. The Church isn’t a building we visit; it’s who we are in Christ.

Come Back to Jesus

Verse 1
I wandered far in darkness, burdened by my shame,
Chasing empty pleasures, calling on my name.
But Your mercy found me, Your blood has made me clean,
Now I hear You calling, “Child, return to Me.”

Chorus
I repent, Lord Jesus, wash my heart today,
Take away my sins and lead me in Your way.
I surrender wholly, all I am to Thee,
King of my salvation, Lord, You set me free.

Verse 2
No more love for sinning, no more chains of night,
You have brought me out into Your holy light.
Break every stronghold, cleanse my heart within,
Fill me with Your Spirit, keep me pure from sin.

Chorus
I repent, Lord Jesus, wash my heart today,
Take away my sins and lead me in Your way.
I surrender wholly, all I am to Thee,
King of my salvation, Lord, You set me free.

Bridge
Take my hands and use them, take my voice and song,
Take my heart forever, where it does belong.
I will serve You gladly, till my final breath,
Faithful to my Savior, through life and through death.

Verse 3
You are my Redeemer, Lamb upon the throne,
By Your grace and power, I am Yours alone.
Daily I will follow, trusting in Your Word,
Living for Your glory, serving Christ the Lord.

Final Chorus
I repent, Lord Jesus, wash my heart today,
Take away my sins and lead me in Your way.
I surrender wholly, all I am to Thee,
Now and evermore, my life belongs to Thee.

Ending
Jesus, I am Yours.
Save me, cleanse me, use me.
I turn from sin to serve the living God. Amen.

Jesus is not merely a motivational figure or religious teacher. He is the Son of God, the only way to salvation, the truth that exposes darkness, and the life that rescues sinners from spiritual death. There is no salvation apart from him. No amount of good works, religion, money, popularity, morality, or self righteousness can save anyone. Salvation is through Jesus Christ alone.

John 14:6 (NIV)
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life.

Be led by the Spirit...

Deny yourself, take up your cross daily, and follow Jesus Christ. True discipleship means surrendering your will to God's purpose and living for His glory. SurrenderToGod
