Like Counting Sheep or the sparkles

in the starry sky.

The numbers are endless

So many times I have chosen to lie.


So many times..The Lord held out His hands.

So many times..I've yelled back

With my trivial demands...

So many times the cross stood before me.



The blood of Jesus was crying my name

But I only hesitated for a second.

Then continued in my sinful games..


As the sands of chance

Rushed through my hourglass.



I was so careless-forgetting life goes so fast.

So many times He could have let me go...

While God waited patiently as I kept saying "NO!"


Others prayed for me-

The Heart Tugs chilled my spine.

Then out of all those many times

I said, "YES!" and made Jesus Mine!


So many times since that Salvation Day.

So many times when I meet my sweet Lord and pray

I am so filled with thankfulness and joy.

That Jesus waited and didn't give up on this boy!


So many times could have been my last

And the Savior could have walked right on past.

So many times NOW,

I bow my head

Still pray for those who say "NO" instead!
