Change
I havent always been this way
Im not acting goldly nor is it pretence
Im not holier than thou hope this !makes sense
Im just changed from the mess i had made
Trapped in a world of lustful desires i used to be
Thus i cannot stand and say im better that would be fake
I know what it means to fall right on your face
The shame and guilt that comes after the whole ordeal
Maybe you don't understand, let me lay it down for you
My life hasnt been that much of a story to tell
The plight of the deeds of my youth nearly destroyed me
The person i used to be and who i am now are at opposite poles
Had i not changed, i would have landed in the hades
Living life the way i felt was best for me
Dangerously engulfed in the desires of my own flesh
Thinking if i like it i can have it
Such a crooked line of thinking i know
Kissing on everybody and anybody i wanted
Riding on lusts of my flesh like no ones business
Continued to live as though i done nothing shameless
I lived for self and she wanted what she did
Losing conscience in the depth of my sin
Thinking as long as i don't cross the boundary im fine
Justifying myself that im still in line course i done it not
Even though inside id feel no less than a harlot
Trading holiness for filthiness
Life for death why could i not see
That i needed change and a light to show the way
The road i had taken lead nowhere but unto death
Burdened by the guilt of my sin and shame
My sin ever before me and testifying against me
I lifted mine eyes towards the one who's able to tame
To change a wretch and avails sufficient grace to the unworthy
He judged me not but instead he showed me mercy
He changed me and yes i did change
I know im still a working progress but its looking good
Course i know he is faithful to complete the work
he began
Thus when i stand to boast i boast not of my self
For its no longer i who lives but him in me
Living life anew course he gave me another chance
To live right and be justified as worthy of his grace
Hope you get it now what im trying to say
I needed change and so you do
In the enjoyment of your youth dont make a !mistake
And live recklessly like i did
I got another chance but that's not always the case
Live right and live the world behind
Lose it all and you will gain whats way better
I ain't making bargains but lending a helping hand
To the one who is trapped in sinking sand
Take this hand and you shall be saved
Trust me you shall never be put to shame
Change comes when you embrace it
We all need change hope now you get it.
