The Pit

Where am I?
It's so dark in here!
I can't see where I am going!
Is someone out there?
I can feel a presence!
Who is it?
I have no way of knowing!

Something is not right!
I can't see any light!
It's so lonely and cold down here!
Can someone help me?
Can anyone hear me?
Oh my God, i'm so scared!

Where am I?
What is this place?
Which way do I go to get out?
Oh dear Lord, what was that?
What was that terrible sound?

Wait a minute!
I see a bright light!
There is someone standing in my midst!
He is wearing a long white robe!
His arms are reaching out!
I am JESUS, he said!
Let me take you out of this pit!

Forgive me LORD!
Please give me a second chance!
Make me a new creation in you!
I'm so sorry for all of my sins!
Whatever you say, I will do!

I LOVE YOU MY SON!
I forgive you!
Your sins are no longer known!
Now just take My hand, and follow Me!
I will lead you home!
