Born in darkness and sin Fear and trembling My youth lost to the wind Nothing of good resembling The teens isolation and loneliness Searching and mimicking The music of an era My wounds the dogs were licking At twenty five a shadow Mental illness and despair In desperation I took a leap It became Christ's work to repair Many years of suffering ensued Storms without, Christ within Years to learn To be a good Christian Can't take the credit For any good that flows From the heart of God through me It's all grace, God knows Born in darkness and sin Raised to life and righteousness It's all a gift from God My holiness The Lord desires the heart and mind To die to self and worldly fame To live for him alone And receive eternal gain Therefore, I take no credit All the glory his Forevermore. Amen |
