Foot Steps To Faith
(Written by, Candice Landis. 1/03/2014)
For What Reason Do You Not Believe
Is It Something You Can Share With Me
Perhaps I Can Help Erase Your Doubt
Perhaps Together We Can End Your Spiritual Drought
You See My Friend At One Time I Too Could Care Less
I Had Too Many Problems To Redirect My Focus
Everything Stacked Up Against Me So High And So Deep
There Were Two Kinds Of People In My World , The Lucky And Then Me
I Didn't Feel The Lords Love At All
I Felt He Had Forsaken Me And Into This Pit Called Life Let Me Fall
I Struggled To Get Out Of Bed Every Day
Knowing Deep Down Nothing Would Change, It Would All Remain The Same
The Hostile Negative Thoughts, The jealousy When Others Shared Their Joy
Why Can't That Be Me I Thought, I Would Get Instantly Annoyed
I Did Not Consider The Hard Work People Had Put Into What They Had
I Was Too Busy Feeling Sorry For Myself And I'd Just Get Mad
Then I Met A Man Who I Believe Was Led To Me By God
He Befriended Me And I Shared With Him All My Secrets Thoughts
He Would Recount The Steps Of My Past With Me
Point Out My Mistakes And How I Could Have Acted Differently
For Years I Never Thought About How My Actions May Have Invited My Hurts
All I Cared About Was The Damage Done To Me, And Of Most People I Thought The Worst
Then Finally One Day He Asked Me How I Thought I Had Survived All That
Before I Could Answer He Suggested Divine Intervention Was At Hand
He Explained To Me How Jesus Uses Those With Scars And Wounds
As Examples Of His Love For Us, We Are His Special Troops
He Doesn't Choose The Wealthy Man Who Has Everything
He Chooses The Broken Hearted, The Down Trodden, The Hurting
We Are The Ones He Counts On To Spread His Light
We've Been Through The Battles, We Know How To Fight
He Watches Over Us All Until We Reach A Certain Point
Then His Love Pours Down And Our Hearts He Anoints
That's What Happened To Me That Fateful Day
I Fell To My Knee's In Tears, Every Betrayal, Every Sinful Wound On Display
I Prayed To The Lord For Forgiveness And That He Take My Pain Away
I Told Him I Wanted To Come Home To His Heart And There I Meant To Stay
That Was Two Years Ago And Since Then My Dear Friend Has Gone Away
But I Treasure The Gift He Gave To Me By Leading Me To My Faith
I've Discovered Since Then With Gods Help, My Life Isn't Such A Miserable Place
I Have So Many Blessings, Many I've Always Had, Their Value Just Misplaced
I No Longer Worry About The Lack Of Material Possessions In My Life
I Know Deep Down Whatever I Need To Survive Will Be Provided By My Savior Jesus Christ
I May Not Have Shiny Gadgets To Play With Or The Latest Model Car
But What I Do Have Is Worth Much More, I Have Faith In My Lord And Peace In My Heart
