Change

I was born in a world of sin 
And shape in iniquity. 
I never knew the lord until 
He saved me. 

I was in the habit of drinking and smoking 
Never wanted to hear about church 
Because of the life I was living.

All that change one day 
That was on my Sixteen Birthday.
I was drinking and partying
But was told to keep a thanksgiving.

I suddenly collapse and fall down,
Not knowing my heart was about give out
I was picked up and rushed to the hospital.

As I pass the door, my heart stop 
And I breath no more.
For that moment I was alone
In a dark place all on my own.

With no one their not a single light
No one their to comfort or say!
“It’s gonna be fine”

Then I wake up laying speechless 
For I was on life machine.
While my family were crying and praying.

Why I’m I here, what had happen? 
My aunt say I should be grateful 
Because God kept me.

Then I turn and ask God
Why he didn’t take me.
For I never listen to my uncle
Who told me to keep a thanksgiving.

Cause of the sickness 
I was born with.
I was told by the doctor
That I wouldn’t live to see 16.

But God show up and heal me
And said “he have great plans for me”
So I can live and do his work.

Here I am at 23years old 
Still alive up to a day like today.
Thanking God every step 
Of the way. 

Sometime I stumble 
Sometime I fall
So I get right back up 
Go at it all again.

For I was I was born in a world of sin 
And shape in iniquity.
I used to place the things of the world in-front
Now I worshipped and glorified Him.
