God spoke to me tonight, and took me on a journey through my life,
There were many times of happiness, but also many times of strife.
My life has been a rollercoaster, with many ups and downs,
There’ve been lots of smiles along the way, but also many frowns.
Clinically dead when I was born, a total of three times in all,
But the blood of Christ kept me alive, He didn’t let me fall.
I gave my heart to the Lord, at thirteen years of age,
Though I was never really happy, my heart was full of rage.
Growing up an only child was sometimes good, but sometimes bad,
Being alone, and having no-one to play with, often made me sad.
But God assured me, that as lonely as I felt, I was never alone,
He was with me everywhere I went; I was never on my own.
At seventeen years of age, my faith was put to the test,
I rejected Christ completely, I was feeling so depressed.
There was no real purpose left in my life, God had forsaken me,
Useless is how I saw myself, others would surely agree.
Many times I should have died, an accidental death,
But I came through each time, thinking this was my last breath.
Alcohol turned me, to suicide more than once or twice,
But this didn’t even work, living just wouldn’t suffice.
So for many years, I treated God with total disdain,
Asking Him to grant me things, that would have caused me pain.
Until one day, two years ago, my eyes and heart were opened,
I gave myself to Him completely, thank God I was awakened.
Now, each new day brings happiness, and total joy to me,
For when I close my eyes, its His Glorious face I see.
For never giving up on me, I give Him all the Praise,
And I live to serve my Jesus, all the rest of my days!
