I lived in darkness
I travelled the back roads,
I stood at the gates of Hell.
living in sin, and dying within,
I cried out hopelessly in despair.
Lord, I can't live this way anymore!
I was at my end,
weak from loss of strength..
Tears streamed down my face,
as I fell to my knees and prayed.
I asked God to forgive me of my sins.
and to direct my life.
I lifted my hand to wipe the tears
from my burning cheek.
When suddenly I saw the face of my sweet Jesus.
He walked over to me and lifted my chin.
He softly dried my tears, with His tears.
He reached out and took my hand,
as we walked, I cried in repentence.
My tears fell into the ocean of His love.
All my sins, woes, and adversities,
flowed out, in a flood of words.
Then the dark clouds lifted,
and the sun began to shine.
Each step I took became easier to bear.
I felt the peace of God's freedom.
I started twirling and singing with great joy,
thanking God that "I Was Alive!"
I was cleansed by His precious Blood.
I was so caught up in the joy of living
that I forgot to say goodbye.
I turned around suddenly,
just to see Him disappear into the mist.
A soft Light shone from heaven.
A gentle voice echoed into my ear,
It was the precious voice of my Savior saying,
"I am the Light, go ye therefore unto all,
and let your light shine before men,
that they will see your good works
and glorify My Father who is in Heaven."
I fell to my knees and replied,
"I will, my Lord!"
Tears streamed down my face,
but this time they were tears of joy and faith.
Jesus saved my life and I will forever be in His debt.
I shall glorify Him for the rest of my days.
His Light will shine in me now and forever more.
