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.
