There Was A time

There Was A Time

 

There was a time when I was lost

I stole from you, I didn’t count the cost

I was deaf and blind, I could not see

The life that was right in front of me

 

There was a time when I did not care

I was stingy and selfish, I did not share

I was all about what I could take

But I had pain in me that I could not shake

 

There was a time when I was mean as can be

I would let the pain and hurt wash over me

The pain and hurt caused me to fight

I got lost in the world of evil at night

 

There was a time when I thought I was tough

I would huff and puff, shouting out all my stuff

I made you think that I was mean and rough

I would come in the door acting all so gruff

 

There was a time when I saw that I was broken

I heard Your voice and knew that You had spoken

You spoke into my heart and changed who I was to be

I knew right then it was Christ who died at Calvary

 

I knew right then that I was dead in my trespass and sin

It was then that Your Holy Spirit came to live within

Now I’m a new creation, I’m set apart

I want to shout out to the world about this new start

 

There are still times I’m blind and cannot see

I know God’s Spirit has a firm hold on me

I put my trust in Him alone

Until that time I’m going home
