'Jesus your grace and mercy' by Isidro Zapata

Jesus your grace and mercy
Put my life back on course
That was torn apart
Forgetting the real Purpose of life
Jesus did not just preach the Sermon on the Mount
Jesus lived it
And laid down His life
So I can know God and find my Place in this life
The lie we hear everyday
Those lies only
Leave people
with an empty soul
That chase after the lie
replace the lie
With the truth
Showing the world
the True meaning
of Jesus Teachings
So you can know
Peace and love
