I Grew


I dug myself a grave in the ground It was like 60 feet down For years I'd walk the edge Then one day I fell like a rebound In that dark that was musky too Though I was alone I still heard the "I NEED YOU"s I thought I was done I thought I was thru Then I felt a hand on my shoulder I felt the warmth I was no longer colder That hand pulled me out He showed me the light too I felt like a lightening rod I was a new man to God I Grew
