The Real Deal
Dear Lord, the day I gave my life to you
everything seemed to suddenly fit.
There was not a bone in my body
that said "give up - it's time to quit!"

I used to have a lot of "give up", doubt
and "no need to try " in me.
Praise the Lord! His message of
salvation has set my life free!

What a blessing it is when you accept
Jesus as your Lord and Savior!
Praise Jesus! Praise God! I love my life every day now - it's a great change in my behavior.

There's nothing that will stop me now, because all things are possible in the Lord's name.
Hey, this life here on Earth isn't so difficult
any more - nothing in my life is the same.

When you get Jesus in your heart and soul,
you are turned into the new and "real deal".
If you want a new life, turn to Jesus
and then you will know how I feel.
