Poem
I was swimming in sin like a bottle in the ocean going any which way the current took me I was lost and turned out caught up in the so-called glamour of the streets Having not been raised in the ghetto fabulous lifestyle I should have known better But what was I truly being shielded from I found out very quickly and very quickly I did Mom warned me that the people in the streets would eat me up for breakfast lunch and dinner However I ensured her because of the fact that she is my mother that when they spit me out they will spit me out whole God had mercy on me by not giving me what I truly deserved And protected me from the destruction and death Now today I have so much wealth Spiritually being fed all throughout my life Ridding myself of envy, evil and strife I once was lost but now I am found Was blind now I see No one felt what I did when Jesus Christ wrapped His loving arms around me Finding me deep in my despair I did not know this but He was always there When You found me life took on new meaning New mercies new joy a renewed Spirit When You found me Bending my knees bowing my head I rejoiced and said "Thank You" From the bottom of heart I know that I must do my part Holding on to Your unchanging hand I will lift up my arms and wave them out of unequivocal elation I am saved from damnation Rejoice in the LORD And again I say rejoice Because when I was lost You found me O' taste and see that the LORD is good He gave His life for me and He will do it again My glad hands are clapping because I am saved from sin!
