Notes About The Poem

I can only tell people what I was like before
I knew Jesus...it was a pain filled life, sad,
lonely, fearful but, when He came in to my
life, those feelings were all but gone!
Praise God!

With Pen In Hand

With Pen In Hand

With pen in hand and with a willing heart
I want to tell you about my God,
and now knowing He is so Wonderful
I’m really not sure where I should start!

For my life before Him was so lonely
and darkness had totally covered my face 
then to me He sent His Holy Spirit
and I began to lift up my voice and sing of His grace.

Now my days are much brighter 
and His face I continually seek 
to walk with Him not only on Sundays
but in Him all during my week!

Without my Lord, why I’d be so lost
and my heart so sad it would be 
so gratefully now I am spending my time
before Him on bended knee.

Oh hallelujah! Won't He do it? A new creature in Christ Jesus!
