I ONCE WAS DEAD

I ONCE WAS DEAD
MY MIND WAS GONE
MY HEART WAS TORN TO SHREDS.

I ONCE WAS DEAD
MY EYE’S WERE BLIND
MY LIFE WAS FILLED WITH DREAD.

I ONCE WAS DEAD
MY SOUL WAS DARK
MY LOVE WAS NEVER FED.

I COULDN’T GO ANOTHER STEP
FOR I WAS WALKING DEAD.

I HEARD A VOICE
I TURNED AROUND
I MET THE ONE WHO CARED.

HE GAVE ME JOY
HE GAVE ME LOVE
AND OF HIMSELF HE SHARED.

HE LIT MY SOUL
HE CLEANED MY MIND
HE HEALED MY SHREDDED HEART.

IN HIM I SAW THE PLAN FOR ME
WHERE GOD SHALL NEVER PART.

I THANK YOU LORD
YOU ARE MY LIGHT
TO HELP ME REACH NEW HEIGHTS.

IN YOU ALONE
FROM HERE ON OUT
IN YOU WILL I DELIGHT.
