Sign Up For Jesus

I didn’t sign up

For this whole confusing mess.

The good stuff was my choosing

More fun and way less stress.

I didn’t sign up

For what lays out of my control.

I like to check things off my list

Working towards that dream, that goal.

I didn’t sign up

For this negativity that abounds.

It’s taking its toll, pulling me in,

As it moves and makes its rounds.

But while I didn’t sign up

For everything that comes my way

I signed up for Jesus

In Him my trust will stay.

For I will just lean harder

As I strive to obey

In my God, my Lord and Savior.

He’s the Truth, the Light, the Way.

So even though the bad may come,

The unwanted and not so good,

I signed up for Jesus

I need to live just like He would.
