Better I Gave My Life To You Lord

Am grateful to the lord 
That I get to cross
This year to the next
Complete 
What can I ask more 

There were ups and downs 
This year wasn't an easy one
There were temptations 
Some of which I fell on 
Survived their inside 
Came out alive
It was him not because of me

Some I passed willing to take part on
Tried to look aside but my disires got locked 
Lost interest in my interest 
I wondered what was going on
Then searched for because 
I was told all along 
I was not alone
I was covered in danger zones 
Spiritual and physical 
Sometimes he'd let me go on my own
On plain lands 
Where he new I'd never fall 

Where would I be without him 
Who would close my ears 
When death was calling 
Who would be my shelter when 
Challenges were raining
Who can have that authority 
even when committed sins 
He didn't take that as the reason 

To neglect me
Instead he waited for opportunity 
To Make me realise the wrong 
 I did 
So he'd forgive me
Who owns that heart 
that kind of heart
That love 
NO one other than the one who died on my behalf 

Thank you God
It's better I gave my life to you Lord
You stripped me off 
Fears I had 
For flaws I committed 
Before I was yours
Restored my hope amongst doubts 
To stand strong 
And propagate 
Through 2017
Gave me keys to open 2018
When others couldn't

Its better i gave my life to you lord
