For so long

For so long You were a stranger to me.

We passed each other so many times.

You touched my heart.

Yet, we were so far apart.

I did not know that,

You were so easy to find.

Satan had me in this trap.

I felt I had totaled my mind.

I though I was beyond repair.

My life was in total despair.

I knew how to find You.

Yet, I chose not too.

You came into my life like a ball of fire.

Learning about You, I could never tire.

There is so much to know.

So many people to show.

You took my wife.

You replaced her with the abundant life.

I always knew You had something in store for me.

It is You Jesus . . . . . My Lord . . . . . I believe.

You have touched my heart,

In a way, that no one else wanted too.

You changed me and made me brand new.

Lord, You are my counterpart.

One day Lord, I will see You in paradise.

That is only because of Your sacrifice.

Your word is so intense,

It gives me so much confidence.

I will do nothing but excel!

As I climb Your stairwell.

As I receive your Saving Grace,

I realize it is no longer a race.

BUT A JOURNEY
