When Life Wears Thin

In the darkest night
Surrounded by the creeping cold 
I sit in silence  and I contemplate
How my lifes story should be told
I know I'm not a perfect soul
There's events I wish I  could change
I've loved and lost so many times
And swallowed all the pain
I'm viewed by some as kind hearted 
By others who cringe at my name
I've been battered by false accusations 
Yet I dont point fingers to blame.
I surrendered my life to Jesus
When he found me barely able to stand
He has loved me like no other
And changed the person that I am. 
Now that my life is wearing thin
As I watch the days fly by
I hope I'm remembered in heaven above
And im sitting at Jesus side.
