Inspiration

Nights when my heart was cold

Frozen to the depth of my soul

Times when I cried

When all feeling seemed to have died

Times when I wondered where my life would go

I was lost and didn't seem to know

Times that I was weak but you became my strength

The strength that carried me through

Times where my faith was the only thing I knew

And I knew my faith would carry me through

Times I only relied on you

And you Lord pulled me through.

Now that was a great testimony of your faith, I think people are starting to open their eyes and their hearts to the Lord, and this is a great way to share His love and His message, Blessings, Ron
