Lost and Found

There was a time when I did not believe, and with disdain I mocked your thoughts on God. “How can He heal?” I asked, and watched you grieve. There was a time when I did not believe; you seemed so duped and most of all, naïve. Yet still upon faith’s path you firmly trod. There was a time when I did not believe, and with disdain I mocked your thoughts on God. ~~~ + ~~~ One hopeless day I kneeled to pray, and bowed; and found my answers as I turned to Him. I thought of you ~ His blessed love your shroud. One hopeless day I kneeled to pray, and bowed. He saved my soul; to follow Him I’ve vowed. A choir of angels sang a heav’nly hymn One hopeless day I kneeled to pray, and bowed; and found my answers as I turned to Him.
