"I Finally Found You"
I was sitting in my chair,
A hunger deep inside,
I thought, why is life unfair?
I didn't know to whom I could confide.
I wondered why I felt all alone,
I didn't know who to talk to,
I had no one to call on the phone,
Then I heard, My child I'm here for you.
I was thinking, great now I'm hearing things,
I thought, man why does life stink?
I didn't know what those words were supposed to mean,
I had no clue what to think.
I had never been told about Jesus,
And of the streets of gold,
I hadn't heard of the man who could free us,
I was too busy being bold.
I said oh it's not true,
No one cares about me,
Then I heard him say, I believe in you,
I wish you would just see.
I thought yeah right,
What do I care,
Then I saw the light,
And learned what God had to share.
I said no one ever told me,
I was blinded by my sin and pain,
I chose not to see,
Until YOU showed me there was more to gain.
I wondered why no one told me about you,
And how much you are there,
About your love so kind and true,
How you never put more on me than I can bear.
I wallowed in self-pity all of my life,
I didn't realize I could give it to you,
I never knew I didn't have to have all the strife,
I didn't believe a God was true.
Then you took me in your arms,
And I knew I had made it through,
You now keep me from all harm,
Since I chose to believe in you.
