‘Take Jesus’

If the food’s worth eating, don’t leave for re-heating,
You’d better eat it hot.
If you had the key to an MGB,
Would you let it rot?
If Jesus offered life just because He cares,
Would you take it or not?
If you knew today of a better way,
Would you stick with what you’ve got?

If two or three come and pray to me,
I’ll be with them there.
If their prayer’s the same, said in My name,
I will hear that prayer.
See what I have in store to give you.
I have riches beyond compare.
If you’ve true to me, as you’re meant to be,
Then in my joy you can share.

Take Jesus up on His promises,
Take Jesus up on His word.
Take Jesus, you must take Jesus,
If you’d only take Jesus,
The spirit in you would be stirred.
Take Jesus up on His promises,
Take Jesus up on His word.
Take Jesus, you must take Jesus,
If you’d only take Jesus,
You’d be a voice to be heard.

Ask of me and you will receive,
Seek and you will find.
I can supply even if you’re shy,
I can read you mind.
Knock, and the door will be opened to you.
And you’ll see I’m pure and kind.
You can be bold, have a crown of gold,
And a character refined.
