Thank You Lord
I know a masterpiece of literature. I call on my saviour.
Ask him for forgiveness for my awkward behavior.
What Im not is a traitor. One must love his neighbor.
On top of that Ive got to stay faithful!
One might say my youth was wasted on drugs and booze
but Im finally at the point where Ive come to the truth!
Thats my point of view! If you dont agree you have your own work to do.
Lets agree on one thing, Life is something!
As long as I'm here I'm gonna bring one thing.
PEACE. Ive turned 180 degrees.
When I was trapped in the dark I fell on my knees.
Trust me I still do. I lived the life of a fool, but with all that Im through.
Its a brand new day. With a grateful heart is how I choose to stay.
Its hard to find the words to say..... " I love you"
Even when Im in deep, you come through.
Hold my hand and touch my heart.
Like I said its a new day, a fresh start.
Noone can tell where my life will go
but if its his will then thats when I will know!
Its more valuable than gold.
Noones putting on a show.
Ive got a million ideas with a million different roads.
I hope you know, change is not easy. And neither are feelings.
But Ive got something to believe in! I can see again!
I can smell the trees again!
Noone said Im free of sin, but im forgiven!
Im not exactly where I want to be.
Im completely content because its where Gods got me!
I used to dream of death and wake up all alone.
Now I keep in touch with my family at home!
Now I know the fact is that Ive been reborn
the only words I have are THANK YOU LORD!
