Dear Jesus For All My Sins I Do Repent
I Have Made Many Mistakes That I Regret
So Many Years In Darkness I Have Spent
My Spirit Drowning In Discontent
Consumed For Years By A Deep Depression
Falling Prey To Others Dark Aggression
Believing For Years I Was Unlovable And Unworthy
That My Soul Was Forever Stained And Dirty
Destined To Always Play The Role Of Victim
I Felt Trapped Inside An Invisible Prison
I Felt I Did Not Deserve Or Even Have A Voice
For Some Reason This Was My Life, I Had No Choice
Then You Answered My Plea
You Re Lit That Spark Inside Of Me
Encouraged Me To Take A Chance
If I Never Stepped Forward How Could I Advance
So I Took A Deep Breath And I Put My Trust In You
At Rock Bottom I Had Nothing To Lose
I Reached Out And Took Your Hand And Held On Tight
As I Confessed To You My Every Sin, My Every Blight
The More I Talked The More My Heart Was Filled With Light
Suddenly I Knew I Had Been Lied To Most Of My Life
I'm Not Any Of Those Things I Was Led To Feel And Believe
I'm A Child Of God And To Your Love I Now Cleave
From That Invisible Prison My Spirit Has Been Set Free
The Love Of My Savior Jesus Christ Did That For Me
I'm Trusting In You To Lead Me Through The Rest Of This Life
All That Darkness And Negativity I Gladly Leave Behind
I Will Help You To Show Others Who In The Dark Reside
I Will Tell My Story And Shine Your Light
I Will Strive To Help The One's Who Imprisoned Me
For They Too Are Consumed By The Darkness And Cannot See
I Will Shine Like A Beacon In The Darkest Night
Displaying To All The Power Of Jesus' Love With All My Might
I Will Not Tire, I Will Not Despair, For Jesus Has Given Me Back My Sight
I Will Help To Bring As Many As I Can Into His Loving Light
