The world almost had me,
I almost gave in,

What they said was pleasure,
Inside, I knew was sin,

The world almost had me,
They told me succeed!

When I fell on my face,
Jesus called, "Let me Lead".

The world almost had me,
"Drink to forget", they would say,

I heard, You again,
"I am the Truth, the Light, the Way".

The world almost had me,
You sent me believers who were true,
Through their example, I gave my life to You.

Almost,
but now I am free,
Jesus gave new eyes to me.

Almost,
I tried not to care, to just walk away,
Casting anger, I cried, "They lead me astray!".

Yet I find not only my eyes, but my heart is new,
I find my priorities have been rearranged too,

I want them to know the One who frees us,
I want them to know my Savior, my Jesus

Great thoughts, Peter, and nice change of pace. (There are a few places where you could tidy up the rhythm, I think, for a smoother read). ~ Violet
