His Love Changed My Life
From Darkness to light
From Loneliness to contentment
From Sadness to gladness
From Death to atonement
I never knew fulfillment
Always empty was the cup I drank
I lived each day for only me
and slowly, it was I who sank ...
Into the muck, into the mire
Into a pit of dead men's bones
Forever bound in deceitful chains
The way and truth, I was not shown.
BUT JESUS ...
Looked down upon me
His eyes were merciful and fierce
He reached out to accept me
And my heart was thunderously pierced.
THEN I BEGAN TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST
