If it had not been for You,
where would I be.
Lost in a world of pain,
longing to be free.

Looking for love where
it could not be found.
Searching for an answer
while troubles abound.

Tossed to and fro,
by life's harsh waves.
I was on a fast track,
to an early grave.

I tried it all,
nothing was off-limit.
Of this world I was,
caught up in it's gimmicks.

But  then someone told me,
all about You.
And life for me
began anew.

Thank you for your grace,
mercy and love.
I lift my hands to you,
my help from above.
