I ONCE THOUGHT I WOULD BE LOST FOREVER IN AN EMOTIONLESS VOID

I once thought I would be lost forever in an emotionless void
Just another tragic life utterly destroyed
Lord then one night you showed me how I looked through you loving eyes
And washed away an image of myself I had come to despise
I felt like I was nothing and didn’t like myself very much
But you showed me how wrong I was with your loving touch
And on that night I felt your glorious presence as you called out my name
You ignited deep within me an everlasting flame
It’s a flame that burns hotter than the sun
And lets me know my life has only just begun
Lord I felt your love wash over me like waves upon the sea
It filled my heart completely and set my spirit free
That night I felt something I had never felt before
I knew that I was someone special that you positively adore
I didn’t realize then how different my life would truly be
Because suddenly everything was not all about me
Something more important became the focus for everything I do
And that’s to give everything I am right straight back to you
Because Lord you deserve the very best I have to give
Not just from time to time but every day I have to live
I truly want to please you each and every day
And let you how much I love you for showing me the way
