A New Life Begins

My Lord, you cast a loving glance my way This morning while causing a smile to stay And I found myself no longer lost in life As your spirit lead me on a new path today My life I knew would never be the same Nor quite as confusing as it was before When my life was affected by selfishness Led astray by the sin sitting at my door It seemed I was contented to be that way As what seemed real success came easily But my eyes were too blind to understand How fleeting this worlds success can be I thought I had everything I would need Yet it was only a dream that would not last All the material things I thought valuable Would soon disappear from within my grasp My Lord one special night you spoke to me And I found my life would never be the same Because I received a priceless gift of grace That upon entering me made lasting change I found taking the first step not to be easy For I wanted to know In my heart I was sure I would never seek to run from your calling Or the gift found entering your open door When I humbly bowed my head before you Alone laying prostrate before your feet I felt your energizing spiritual power As your embracing love made me complete I felt my selfishness as it was taken away That worldly part who would always betray And I found a new hope begin to blossom As faith in my heart found a place to stay My life now would no longer move in circles Letting the lust for worldly wares to stay For the moment I accepted your graceful offer I knew to emulate your life was the only way A genuine peace I found illuminates my soul With a soothing happiness which lives within Because I found a perfect treasure in you Lord The moment your grace made new change begin.
