Had I been left astray
Alone and afraid
Had YOU not heard me pray
Darkness amplified no more day
My own life betrayed
Enemy to my life would slay
Listening to his never-ending tirade
Fiery darts and arrows air raid
Target my heart penetrate and mind dazed
Barrage my soul beyond disarray
Wound my spirit beyond dismay
Pain with no end and no delay
No longer chosen to be saved
Exist until an early grave
Torment and fear downward pave
In hell make my bed no sleep ever lay
All for naught, yet then even still YOU made a way
Suffering for a time in the fray
Not last long in the grand scheme outplay
Forgiveness given no longer have to pay
Consequences not worth it’s fools gold to pay
Discipline YOU gave set free from sin enslaved
My life remade from Living Water as is applied to this clay
Rebuild until useful in YOUR hands beyond the gray
Out of the dark into YOUR Light with new focus concentrate
Toward YOUR mercy, grace, compassion and love never trade
For all the riches of the world wouldn’t ever outweigh
Deliverance forever that came to stay
Desire grows to live now for the ONE who saves to obey
Will share from brink of tragedy to freedom’s reality convey
Make known HIS unfailing love walk in and fathom within portray
Remember that for a future and a hope HIS blood shed for me and you paid
Remind of Heaven to come; rest until then in HIS shadow of shade
Relate with you who read this about suicide forbidding, forbid, forbade
Rather point to the ONE who saves, prays, and makes a way always
Stuck thinking that you are alone and feeling afraid
Here for you to support and encourage if lost and astray
Come full circle reaching for you to draw you in to unending love today
