My Crossroad Life - Thanks

MY CROSSROAD LIFE - THANKS Everything never made sense My purpose and will was gone It was my shell walking. Walking with thoughts in my mind I was lifeless and life within me gone, Gone away with the moment, Moments of shattered dreams And a weeping soul in the dark. Times like that I wished I was gone, Gone to escape my painful reality, A reality that my life was now gone. I wallowed in my loneliness and tears, Every night spending it awake, Not even a pinch of a sleep came. Sitting down wishing I don’t sleep, For I feared I might sleep forever. I was confused and crashing inside, Crashing never to rise again, Never to rise again from the dust. I was not even a shadow of myself, I didn’t even know who I was anymore, But now I can feel I am alive, Because God gave me hope again, That’s why I want to thank him. I wanted to rise up again but I could not, I was in a fix and scared for my life. Oh lord of lords I need you to know, Am grateful for your mercies. You saved me from the man I was, A man who did not know himself, Who he was and his own shadow, That’s why I want to thank you.
