Glory

Lying in a heap face down on the floor. 
No reason to live just don't care anymore. 
Nothing really matters no reason to stay. 
Need some relief, take the pain away. 
Dozens in my life but I'm still all alone. 
Going thru the motions just another drone. 

The touch that I felt lifted me up. 
Felt like God's glory filling my cup. 
The passage I read turned me around. 
Lifted me up put my feet on the ground. 
I knew at that moment I was okay. 
My life wasn't over I needed to stay. 

Now here I am spreading the news. 
The life God gave me I'll no longer abuse. 
I'm sharing my life telling my story. 
Using myself to shed light on God's glory. 
I'll never forget what he's done for me. 
So open your heart and you to can be free.
