Self Denial

Had to deny myself today

So much of my life

I just got in God's way

I had to pay the price

For choosing my own will

And God let me go to have my fill

I took the fork in every road

Paying no mind to the heavy load

Instead of taking the narrow path

Assuming I wasn't subjected to an angry Gods wrath

So my life started miserably failing

I lost family and friends

Spent many a night wailing 

The downward spiral seemed to have no end at all

When I finally hit bottom

And was ready to end it all

Thats when Jesus reached out to break my fall

He told me all about my life

How I wandered so far away

And how he still walked beside me day by day.

He forgave me for everything

And said it was the reason he died

And as he washed my soul I could only cry

So I denied myself and gave it all to him

And as I swallowed my pride

I felt my new life begin

Now my days here are blessed

AS I walk  towards his glory

with my heart all cleansed with a brand new Story.
