204800
Throughout a life full of sin
Trying to find myself deep within
Doing things as I pleased
Getting what I want with the greatest of ease.
Never chose to listen to the wise
Those who had more I always despised
Never satisfied with what was given to me
Selfish and "self proclaimed" I had to be.
But then the tables have turned
Everything began to change
The feelings I had began to bother me
Suddenly everything felt so strange.
Seeing inside myself for the very first time
Realizing the pain I caused
In total shock and disbelief
A paralyzed state I had paused.
From the depths of despair
I cry out in aching pain
My wails heard echoing through the air
Like that of an animal being slained.
Forgiving me of all my sins
Jesus stood me up on my feet
He talked to me and I listened
As he walked me down the street.
He told me of how things were to be
He told me of how things used to be
It was my choice to make it happen
But things would be better I'd see.
So true were the words he told me that day
They are forever engraved in my heart
He said," The day you choose to end your ways
Your coming of age will start".
