Prayer For Salvation

"Lord Jesus, I need You.  Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins.  I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord.  Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life.  Make me the kind of person You want me to be."

This sample prayer is from Campus Crusade's "Four Spiritual Laws" booklet. See the whole booklet at http://www.campuscrusade.com/fourlawseng.htm
