When I think about my love of the Lord
I think about my life without him
The trials and tribulation faced alone
Rushing headlong, no hope, into sin
Beginning young, the rebelliousness
Against the parents who raised me
Thinking I knew better than them
So young and too blind to see
Into the Army lesson unlearned
Thinking the world was mine
But ever the lack of direction and hope
Not knowing I was running out of time
Mistake after mistake, no change
Thinking it was all bad luck and fate
Not seeing the problem was in my heart
Filled with greed, lust and hate
But the answer was there all along
Just out of reach of my sight
A message of forgiveness of deeds past done
An answer for my plight
An awful happening comes to pass
consequences unknown
The Lord of mercy shows himself
The opportunity to come home
In unusual wisdom of youth
Assisted by my Lord
I embrace the opportunity
To knock upon his door
I feared the terrible judgement
The potential for rejection
But my Lord reassured me
There would be no dejection
In spite of my ways, in spite of my past
In spite of my previous ways
My Lord showed I could be with him
Now and for all future days
And now I rejoice and admonish
Those who think, on their past they must dwell
Forget your past, leave your burdens behind
The Lord will make you well.
Not professional quality but meant from the heart. Peace.
