Alone in the dark,
So cold and alone.
Doing things all wrong,
Doing everything on my own.
I had created my own prison.
My life was my cell.
It had literally become a painful, living hell.
My own worst enemy,
Is what I had become.
Hurting myself and my family,
My conscience had gone completely numb.
I was on a self-destructive path.
On the expressway to hell.
One more hit,
In my coffin, I could have driven the final nail.
My whole world spinning, spinning out of control.
Oblivious to the fact,
That the devil had my soul.
Hating that person,
That lost girl I saw in my reflection.
I was broken and ashamed,
My life desperately need a new direction.
Then, this Man came along.
He said He would help me if I could just let go.
Let go of the life that had stolen and ruined my soul.
He said, “Take My hand child,
Let me show you the truth and the light.
I have plans for you,
My Father above has already written them out just right.”
He said, “I need you now
And more importantly,
You need Me.
With one touch of My garment,
I will set you free.”
“Free from sin,
And free from all your pain.
You have nothing to lose,
And everything to gain.”
So I took His hand,
I knew it was time for a change.
He said, “I was here all along,
Just waiting for you to call out My name.”
So, my thanks be to God,
For sending Jesus, who has set me free.
And all the glory be to Him,
For creating this person you now see.
