A long walk home

Long ago I used to sing God's praise
This was not how I was raised
My parents are nonbelievers
The accused us christans of being over achievers
They never forgave me for turning to the church
A place they tried to keep me from since birth
But as i grew older their thoughts mingled with mine
Sadly i left the church behind
i wound up walking an unknown path
one where love and kindness was a thing of the past
i forgot there were two roads
one hard
one soft
i had forgotton i used to have a rock
this was how it felt to be lost
i wandered neither here nor there
i did not belong anywhere
than one day and innocent little girl
asked me a question that held the world
"Do you love jesus?"
In that moment I knew
The answer I said still rings true
"Yes."
oh what joyous virtue has been bestowed upon me
to give me life love and never ending liberty
To see the sun once more in all of its glory
to keep on living out my story
to have peace once more
*knock knock*
Oh who could that be knocking at the door
a glorious white light comes flooding in
erasing all doubt and past Sin
I have accepted him once more
I drop to my knees upon the floor
Lord my God saviour from heaven above
i give you my soul, showered in love
take me as i am and i shall fight not
for i give you a stained canvas which you wipe clean
wrapped in a white cloak of love i am surrounded
all those wrong words i have said before now seem unfounded
for i have been walking many a mile alone
The litle girl looked at me and smiled
"are you alright? Do you want to be left alone?"
I smiled at her, "No child forgive me, i've had a long walk home.

This is the way we all (??? ) go - finding God ... coming closr ...retreating ... searching again ... finding again ... staying with Him for ever ! The main thing is to manage to do it !
I am also a sinner - having gone the same way, now keeping close to His hand .... and still ...
