My life was lived in darkness
I knew not where to go
Then I remembered I had someone
I had heard of long ago
Back then this meant nothing
And did not pertain to me
I spent my life completely lost
I was blind and could not see
I thought I had the answers
But was I ever wrong
I needed someone to guide me
Some one true and strong
I looked up to Heaven
And said Lord, I'm ready now
For you to turn my life around
And set me straight somehow
Just like always he was listening
And waiting for my call
His hand reached down and touched me
He became my all in all
I realize I'm still not perfect
I've got a long way to go
But I know who I can turn to
As my faith continues to grow
My sins have been forgiven
Like his words said he would do
I call on him to be with me always
His nail scarred hands lead me through
I hope you have had the same experience
And have reached out to him above
If not he is waiting patiently
For you to ask for his love
Just think about it for a moment
Are you where you need to be
Have you called out to Jesus
And asked him to set you free
Though they killed him he is still living
And he promised to return someday
To take his flock home with him
In Heaven forever to stay
