Wish I Had Known You When I Was Young

WISH I HAD KNOWN YOU WHEN I WAS YOUNG If I had known you when I was young Maybe my life would not have gone wrong I may have chosen a different road And ended up with a lighter load The road to destruction I chose to take Led to trouble and much heartache I lost so much along the way I became more miserable day by day I walked this road until I was old My addiction had me in its hold I tried on my own to break the chain It made me think I'd go insane Then one day, I saw the light Oh glorious day, such a beautiful sight To learn of a Savior who died for me And from my addiction, He set me free Today I travel on a different road Helping others to get rid of their load I tell them how my life went wrong Because I didn't know Him when I was young
