Jesus is My Wish For You

This is a beautiful short poem for anyone you feel needs to find Jesus. The words are so true. My wish for you is Jesus, He’s all you need today, The Mighty God, Prince of Peace, The Light, the Truth, the Way, He’s with you in times of good, He’ll be with you when they are bad, Laugh with you on happy days, Beside you when you’re sad, So look to Him from your heart For choices you must make, He’ll guide you and protect you, In every step you take.
