THE  U IN JESUS   Before U were thought of or time  had begun, God stuck U in the name of His  Son.   And each time U pray, you'll see  it's true, You can't spell out JesUs and not include  U.   You're a pretty big part of His  wonderful name, For U, He was born; that's why He  came.. And His great love for U is the  reason He died. It even takes U to spell crUcified.   Isn't it thrilling and splendidly  grand He rose from the dead, with U in His plan?   The stones split away, the gold  trUmpet blew, And this word resUrrection is spelled  with a U   When JesUs left earth at His  upward ascension, He felt there was one thing He just  had to mention. 'Go into the world and tell them  it's true That I love them all - Just like I love U.'   So many great people are spelled  with a U, Don't they have a right to know JesUs too?   It all depends now on what U will  do, He'd like them to know, But it all starts with  U.   When Jesus died on the cross He  was thinking of you!
