A Closer Walk With Thee
(Written By Candice Landis 03/26/2014)
So Many Years Spent Closed Off And Alone
No Friends And Very Little Family To Call My Own
Encased In A Bubble Of Suffocating Fear
Your Love I Could Not Feel, Your Voice I Could Not Hear
Searching For Happiness In All The Wrong Places
Always Feeling Betrayed, Abandoned And Wasted
Wondering Why I Was Unable To Succeed
I Was Not A Good Person, Unworthy Of Love It Seemed
Util One Day, Drowning In A Stormy Sea Of Failure
I Lifted My Face And Cried Out To My Savior
Repenting My Many Unforgivable Sins
I Opened My Broken Battered Heart And Let You In
I Sent Up A Prayer, Making My Plea
In No Time At All I Heard Your Voice Calling To Me
I Felt You Reassuring Me I Was Not Alone
I Felt You In My Heart, Guiding Me From Your Throne
I Found A Good Church With Your Guiding Hand
That Was When My Life Really Began
No Longer Alone, Swallowed By Darkness, Living In Limbo
You Lit My Path, Showing Me The Direction I Needed To Go
I Remember That Broken Girl That Used To Be Me
She Watches Me From Your Loving Arms, Smiling Happily
With Your Love Father I Am Finally Able To Succeed
I'm Living A Godly Life And Writing Spiritual Poetry
I'm Being Brave And Making New Friends
I Have A Compassionate Heart And Am Letting Others In
No Longer Lost In My Past, Or Drowning In Sin
I'm Finally Able To Move Forward, I'm Able To Forgive
Thank You Father For Showing Me How To Really Live
Thank You For Letting Me Know I Have Much To Give
You Have Blessed Me Father With So Many Wondrous Gifts
Thank You For Rescuing A Soul That Was Lost And Adrift
