"Good Time Charlie"
























GOOD TIME CHARLIE


GOOD TIME CHARLIE ....HAD SEEN IT ALL
HE TRIED "EVERYTHING" IN HIS DAY, BUT....
GOOD TIME CHARLIE WAS GROWING TIRED
AND HIS HAIR ….WAS TURNING GRAY


ALL THROUGH THE YEARS THAT HE LIVED
HE PARTIED....ALWAYS LOOKING FOR FUN
ACCOMPLISHMENTS?...WELL, MAYBE A FEW
BUT....MATERIAL THINGS, HE HAD NONE


FRIENDS HE HAD MADE THROUGH THE YEARS
WERE FAST.....AND LONG SINCE GONE
NOW HE SPENDS MANY LONELY NIGHTS
PRAYING FOR THE LIGHT OF DAWN


HE THINKS OF WHAT HE'S MISSED
THE THINGS HE HAD THROWN AWAY
CONSTANTLY FEELING EMPTY...INSIDE
IN DESPERATION, HE DECIDED TO PRAY


HE TALKED FOR A WHILE TO JESUS
GIVING A VERY LONG CONFESSION
ADMITTING ALL HE HAD DONE WRONG
SAYING ...HE FINALLY LEARNED HIS LESSON


HE SAID "WITH YOUR HELP GOD
I WILL DO MY BEST TO....TRY
TO LIVE A GOOD AND FRUITFUL LIFE
NOT ONE THAT IS BARREN.....AND DRY"

I CAME, NOT TO CALL THE RIGHTEOUS,
BUT SINNERS TO REPENTANCE
