“I felt so lost, in deep distress <br />My life was just a total mess <br />Left all alone in need of love <br />I sought for guidance God above <br /> <br />The day we met, was sheer delight <br />I thank my God who gave me sight <br />You gave to me what none can buy <br />I know in Christ I’ll never die <br /> <br />When first I heard my Master’s voice <br />You made my heart and soul rejoice <br />You spoke of things I’d never heard <br />Revealing me your precious word <br /> <br />You took the doubt you cleansed my heart <br />Right then I knew we’d never part <br />From there my life is not the same <br />I bless the day my God you came <br /> <br />To please you Lord I’ve truly tried <br />Though when I’ve failed how much I cried <br />The devil tries with great deceit <br />But peace I’ve found at Jesus’ feet <br /> <br />You know the name of every child <br />You saw me while still running wild <br />You set me free, You made me whole <br />You brought the joy that floods my soul <br /> <br />Throughout my life I’ve felt Your hand <br />Yet only now! I understand <br />The gift of faith You gave to me <br />Has torn the veil and made me see <br /> <br />How can I pay for all You’ve done? <br />Your Holy Ghost, Your faithful Son <br />I aim to serve with all my might <br />I thank my God I’ve seen the Light.<br /><br />Michael P.
