The Man Who Wouldn't Take No

Here he comes, it's time to hide
He'll nag me once again
Have you talked to Jesus today
It's time you got to know him

I really don't care, I'd answer him
I'd appreciate if you quit it
This Jesus that you talk about
Doesn’t mean a thing to me

He'd only smile and start again
And tell me all these stories
Of miracles past and now
And how I need the healing

Thank you now but I'm quite fine
And I don't need your Jesus
So go away and leave me alone
And find another sucker

A meeting we have this Sunday night
You really need to be there
This guest has come from overseas
He spreads the word of God now

I'd had enough, I told him so
I'll come this once, once only
And when I’m done you'll leave alone
And all this talk of Jesus

Agreement made, I went along
The church was really packed inside
People singing, dancing and praising
Their worship appeared so joyful

The preacher man he came and spoke
About Jesus and salvation
Of how he died to give us life
And entrance into Heaven

Let all who need Jesus now
Come down for a blessing
Jesus wants to share His love
And assure your place in Heaven

My body rose by spirit hands
And guided down my footsteps
Peace and calm and lovingness
Followed the preacher's prayer

Jesus came into my heart
And changed my life forever
Blessed be my friend called Ron
Who wouldn’t take no for an answer
