Transformed

i only have hope 
in Christ alone 
before i was stoned 
left love scorned 
tattered and weary 
i stole life 
victimized all 
had the dealers 
when i fell 
totally dependent 
on self   
never looked at that 
Bible that was on 
the shelf
one day i opened it 
i didn't change 
i just woke up
