My Journey To Jesus
Six Months Ago I Was Ready To Give Up
Ready To Run Away From My Life, I'd Had Enough
I Did Not Feel Loved, Needed, Or Even Liked
My Life Was Total Darkness, There Was No Light
I Felt Everyone Was Judging Me And I Kept Comming Up Short
No Matter How Hard I Looked, I Could Find No Support
Years Of Negativity Had Taken It's Toll, My View's Had Become Bitter And Distorted
All Of My Life It Seemed Unhappiness And I Had Flirted And Courted
I Knew There Was A God, But For Him Too I Was Not Good Enough
Somewhere Along The Way I Had Even Lost His Love
But Even Though I Thought I'd Had Enough, Something Told Me To Look Up
To Talk To Him, God's Love Was Not Some Exclusive Country Club
So I Began To Pray And Write And Confide My Deepest Shame To Him
I Ripped Open Every Wound And Exposed My Soul, My Greatest Sin
The List Was Long, My Crimes Were Many, He Listened To Them All One By One
I Began To See The Errors I Had Made, What Differently I Could Have Done
He Spoke To Me In His Gentle Way And Explained It Was Not Too Late
For I Was His Child, I Was His Heart And Me He Would Never Forsake
He Assured Me He Could Take Away My Pain, And I Could Start Over, I Could Change
He Entered My Heart Then And Together My Beliefs And Values We Rearranged
I Began To See How Love Makes All The Difference In This Cold Cruel World
Slowly The Fist That Had Been Choking Me Relaxed, It's Iron Fingers Uncurled
His Love And Grace Poured Into The Dark Emptiness Of My Tormented Soul
My Past Faded Away, My Wounds Were Healed, I Became Whole
I Began To See Others With A New Understanding Compassionate Heart
Instead Of Barking Back At Them I Listen And Try To Shed Some Light In The Dark
I Watch Their Confused Expressions As They Look Curiously At Me
Realizing I'm No Longer The Person I Used To Be
I Pray That They Will Wonder About God And Want To Explore
That When They See The Changes In Me, Maybe They Too Will Hope And Want More
When Satan Knocks, I Try With All My Heart To Resist Opening That Door
I'm Immersed In The Light And The Love Of Our Savior, Our Lord
I Took Another Step Today In My Journey Of Faith
One So Beautifuly Meaningful, I Was Again Filled Me With His Grace
I Was Baptized And As I Was Immersed And That Cleansing Water Washed Over My Face
I Heard Him State, "You Are Mine" As He Enfolded Me In His Loving Embrace
I Am Amazed And Eager To Learn So Much More
This Is A New Begginnig And I Know He Has For Me So Much More In Store
I'm Committed To Following In His Foot Steps
This Is Just The Beginning, I Walk In His Light, No Mare Shame, No More Regret
Like A Newborn Babe Cradled In His Arms I Eagerly Face This Brand New Start
I Will Witness To Others And Help My Fellow Man However I Can, Eager To Do My Part
There Is No Better Place To Reside On This Earth Than In The Lords Heart
You Too Can Be Reborn And Be Given A Fresh Start.
