ADD TO MY FAVORITES
my hatred's for everyone.
If it wasn't with my fist
I would threaten with a gun.
I was looking for trouble
in everything I would do.
I bet you can't imagine
what hell I would put them through.
My youth had been abusive
beatings happened everyday.
I wanted to get even
all the people had to pay.
I put myself in danger
I was trying to get killed.
My life had been one of strife
the anger in me would build.
Should have died so many times
all the things I put me through.
Wandered 'round the place I found
never knowing what to do.
A stranger stood upon a rock
he talked about this God
He said I should call on Him
to me seemed very odd.
If I wanted to be blessed
I would have to learn to pray.
He told us to bow our heads
so he could show us the way.
I asked to be forgiven.
The strength to stop this hate.
The anger that was in me
now begun to dissipate.
Each time something tore me down
I would bow and call on Him.
He would bless each thing I do
my future's not so dim.
Seems like things have turned around
when I talk to God each day.
He promised to be constant
always showing me the way.
Now that I have changed my life
He helps me with what I bear.
He's taken away the hatred
He has shown me how to care.
The anger that raged in me
is gone and now I find.
A love that surrounds my soul
blesses me with peace of mind.
