One Year
(written by, Candice Landis 8/11/2013)
Lost In Darkness, Desperately Needing A Change
I Turned To The Lord And Began To Feverishly Pray
I'm Ready Lord, To Open My Heart To You Today
I Want To Go To Church, Please Lead The Way
On August 5th, Two Thousand Twelve
I Answered This Church's Beckoning Bell
Knee's Trembling, Heart Beating A Furious Pace
I Was Met With Smiles Full Of Gods Grace
I Was Welcomed With Open Arms
As Jesus Whispered Inside My Heart
Here Child You Will Come To No Harm
My Heart Full Of Alarm Quickly Became Disarmed
In January Two Thousand Thirteen
I Was Baptized And Truly Washed Clean
I Can't Begin To Tell You What That Means
For Someone Who Has Always Felt Unworthy And Unclean
In The Last Year I Have Learned To Trust
To Live A Life That Is More Godly And Just
Every Aspect Of My Life Has Improved
For The Part All Of You Had In That, I Thank You
Sometimes I Weep For The Little Girl That Was Me
I Did Not Come From A Godly Family
Though I Think That's How It Was Supposed To Be
So That Now Jesus Can Reach Me So Deeply And I Can Truly See
It's Been A Year Since Jesus Brought You All Into My Life
I Thank You All For Sharing With Me His Brilliant Loving Light
For Your Acceptance And Encouragement As I Continue My Plight
To Become A Better Christian For The Rest Of The Days Of My Life
