I struggle with this life of mine
Have lost the will to live.
I have given all I can
Failed at all I give.
It seems no matter what I do
It crashes and it burns.
So I think I’ll stop it all
This life I have not earned.
There’s darkness all about me.
A light so very bright
Reviles all my sinful things
Exposed them to the night.
So now I face the jury
Suffering the pain.
They point saying I’m guilty
Punishment will reign.
But I have a counselor
Who said it wasn’t nice.
For all you people do not know
For him I paid the price.
All this times God’s smiling
Because he knows the end.
Jesus died so I could live
He’s done this as my friend.
Jesus said, “Now you must hurry
Because it’s time to go.”
With the twinkle of God’s eye
He nods and makes it so.
The feeling of the shaking
As I lay upon the ground.
Caught my full attention
As I looked around,
It was my apartment
I lay upon the floor.
I was remembering
Who could ever ask for more?
From that day it’s different
God gives me words to say.
We talk to one another
In every time I pray
With a love that shows he cares.
He touches the soul of man
Of each one he’s aware
No longer are we sand.
So I will sing His praises
A joy the fills my heart.
He promises He will not forget
In my life He’s now a part.
So this was my deserts
Where I wondered round.
I am going home at last
To stand in holy grounds.
