"Once Lost"
I once was lost, but now am found
My feet once again planted on solid ground
As if blinded, I had lost all sense of direction
Then, finally, I saw a Light...or was it His reflection
With my eyes fixed upon it, I stumbled and fell
As I found another road obviously not traveled so well
For it had many obstacles in its path that seemed to hinder my way
Deep within my soul was a burning desire to seek out this Light
And the flame that burned within kept me from turning away
I arrived surrounded by darkness like the night
My body tired and weary...battered and worn
And my spirit...broken...feeling so forlorn
With a penitent heart
I won the race of Life as I crossed the mark
I crawled into the circle of Light and as I looked up I could see
Jesus nailed to the Cross...tho' bleeding and beaten His eyes fixed upon me
Accept and believe in Me was His invitation
And so I did...without any hesitation
Rise up and follow Me, My Child...for I am the Way
Now go in peace and share this invitation with others today
To God be the Glory!
