Self Denial

Had to deny myself today So much of my life I just got in God's way I had to pay the price For choosing my own will And God let me go to have my fill I took the fork in every road Paying no mind to the heavy load Instead of taking the narrow path Assuming I wasn't subjected to an angry Gods wrath So my life started miserably failing I lost family and friends Spent many a night wailing The downward spiral seemed to have no end at all When I finally hit bottom And was ready to end it all Thats when Jesus reached out to break my fall He told me all about my life How I wandered so far away And how he still walked beside me day by day. He forgave me for everything And said it was the reason he died And as he washed my soul I could only cry So I denied myself and gave it all to him And as I swallowed my pride I felt my new life begin Now my days here are blessed AS I walk  towards his glory with my heart all cleansed with a brand new Story.
