I prayed to God to guide me
To show me what is His will
Should I give the whole world
The light He’s put inside me
The one that shows me I am
Someone who loves without doubt
Someone who cares with all my heart
Someone who needs to share my best
Someone who is on the path to heaven
Because I believed in His gift…
Jesus, my redeemer, the Savior
Who would make me feel the sweet joy
Of knowing that His love is alive
And He will always be my heart’s light
I prayed for God to bring to me
A moment when I could know the truth
Would I be someone He could use?
Even though I’m such a failure, so flawed
Filled with so many faults I can’t see
How He could possibly ever use me!
I prayed for God to allow me
To open my heart and soul to Him
Show Him all that lived within
Where I felt like I knew Him the best
Where I longed to share with Him my quest
For a heart who He could use for Himself
A heart that was alive and filled with a light
Set afire by His burning love, His grace,
The amazing wonder of His name
Jesus is the One who came
When I opened my heart and pursued
A rescuer who would prove
To be the answer to every prayer
The fulfillment to my every dream
The whisper of love that increased
When I listened to His call
And felt Him touch my heart and soul
With a love that is beyond words
A love that is pure and intuitive
A love that lasts from now throughout eternity
With the love that goes beyond my hope
Into the core of my heart’s joy
Where I feel more grace than I can imagine
And more wonder than I can expect to acknowledge
This love He fills me with – It’s a love that will never end
And, with Him beside me, enlightening me,
I will always be sure of God’s peace
Filling my soul with such inspiration and knowing
That life beyond this world is a life I await
With enthusiasm, excitement and expectation
A knowing that heaven is the home I’m anticipating
Because there, on high, lives Jesus, my entire life!
