I’ve faced some difficult days

I’ve had to change my ways

I’ve felt ashamed

I’ve been defamed

I’ve been scorned

Had my heart torn

I’ve felt weak

Before hearing God speak

I’ve gotten lost

Not knowing the cost

I’ve searched high and low

For what will help me grow

Before God set my path

Without unleashing His wrath

I’ve searched for a place

To run my race

Before God turned me around

Put me on solid ground

I’ve lost my voice

Before I began to rejoice

I’ve longed for a home

Where my soul can roam

I’ve fallen far

Before healing every scar

I’ve wondered what I’ll find

Before finding peace of mind

I’ve grappled with doubt

Until God worked things out

I’ve learned to smile

Even laugh a little while

I’ve found something to hold

As my story is told

I’ve changed my view

After seeing what God can do

I’ve gotten filled to the core

Before God offers me more

I’ve wondered how to dream

Strange though it may seem

Before finding my purpose

Lying at the surface

I’ve passed every test

Just like all the rest

I’ve faced many naysayers

While saying my prayers

Before resuming the journey

Meant just for me only

I’m out of the dark
