Little Andy Talks with God
Conversation with Daddy
Mr. God,
I got borned again, taday.
Daddy said ta me, "Little Andy,
What do ya know 'bout Jesus?"
"I know he was borned on Christmas
An that he loves us ...
An he is the son of God, ain't He?"
Daddy said that is true
An Mary is his mommy."
"That's all true, son.
What else do ya understand?"
"That he knows me
An I was planned.
What do ya want me to know, daddy?"
"Well, do ya know why he had ta die?"
"No, daddy, I don't.
But, it sure did make me cry."
"I'm sure it did, son.
But, ya need ta know why."
"Well, daddy, I'm tryin' ta un'erstand.
Why did he hafta die?"
Daddy says he died for me,
Ta take away my sin.
I think sin an bad are the same.
When I'm bad, that is sin to him.
"What happened after that, Andy?
What did Jesus do?"
I know, I know! He raised from the grave
An went back ta heaven, too.
"That's right, Andy."
So, Jesus died ta make my sin go away
An he raised from the dead
So he could take us ta heaven, someday.
"I see, daddy. Jesus loved us.
He loved that much, for me.
He lives in heaven, right now.
Doesn't he?"
"Yes, Andy. But, did ya know
He wants ta live in your heart, taday?"
"Oh, daddy, I think he's way too big.
Is there a magic way?"
"Well, Andy, Jesus an God are spirits
An they can live in you.
You jest hafta ask him in.
That's all ya have to do."
"Wow, daddy, can I do that right now?"
"Yes, Andy. Yes, you can, right now."
"How, daddy? Show me how ~
Jesus in my heart, right now."
"Well, Andy, talk to Jesus.
Ask him ta come in,
Ta live in your heart
An take away your sin."

Andy's Prayer
Dear Jesus, this is little Andy
An I want ya ta live in my heart, taday.
I'm sorry for bein' bad, sometimes.
Will ya take my sin away?
I will try ta be a good boy
An grow up ta be a nice man.
Daddy says, if I let ya lead me
Then, I surely can.
Thank you for dyin' for me.
I'm sorry that ya had to.
But, I'm glad ya did.
My sins are gone,
All because of you.
Thank you, Jesus.
Amen.

"Well, Andy, if you believe
All ya did was right an true
Then, Jesus now lives in your heart
An he will go ever where with you."
"Am I a Christian, now, daddy,
Like you an momma?"
"Yes, Andy, you have been born again;
Just like momma an me."
Daddy hugged me an cried;
An momma did, too.
"Jesus, they said that I'm not jest their son,
But I'm a son of God ~ jest like you.
That makes us brothers, I guess.
But momma says to call ya 'Lord, Jesus'.
I can talk ta ya when I learn ta pray
So, when I talk ta your daddy,
I can talk ta you, too, each day.
I'll try ta keep my heart nice an clean
'Cause you'll be livin' there;
An you can make me more like you
An go with me, ever where."
Have a good day, Mr. God.
From me and my Lord, Jesus.
We will be together for always,
When ya look for us.
Thanks, from Little Andy.
