I Was Totally Lost Till Jesus Found Me

I Was Totally Lost, Till Jesus Found Me!

 I found myself lost and stumbling around.
Any true hope was nowhere to be found.

The satisfaction I was looking for wasn’t there.
I got to the point in life where I didn’t care!

There were dark things I was trying to hide.
But this body of mine was really aching inside!

The habits I had, were pulling
 in a downward momentum.
The things I did…  I don’t want to mention them!

I knew that my life was crashing down fast!
Any kind of pleasure I tried… It didn’t last!

What would I do?  I began to ponder.
I was very confused and began to wonder…

Then one night, I cried out to Jesus’ name.
Things in my life would never be the same!

I asked God; “Will you take me?” 
 “I’ve nothing to give!”
I was discouraged and tired of the way I lived!

Just when all seemed hopeless with no way out…
God touched me with his love throughout!

As time went by, I learned to trust him!
He did so much for me!  How much I loved him!

He took away the uncertainties, doubts and fear.
I now know he’s with me, and is always here!

I’ m not lost anymore!  My path is brightened!
By God’s glory and beauty, my life is enlightened!

I thank you Jesus and give praise to you alone!
You’ve blessed my life, my heart and home!
