Notes About The Poem

Saved By You

I can see you now
you were there when I cried out 
I was very lost

I remember when
your hand reached out to save me
you opened a door

a voice from inside
this voice telling me, be calm
do not worry child

being filled with peace
there was no doubt you were there
smiling a laugh

when I lose my way
you told me to follow you
and I followed you

somehow you want me
I do not know why really
far from perfect here

I made many mistakes
you died on the cross for me
giving me a chance

Jesus, I believe
I want to be by your side
hearing your voice speak

you gave me my life
by loving me to save me
you forgave my sins

on my knees, I pray
that everyone who needs you
find their way to you
