The man who saved me


The man who saved me
 
If your world is dark
If your eyes are weary and your heart heavy 
If you feel alone and forgotten 
If you feel like your mind is an enemy and it attacks you with more ferosity than a starved man whom you've stolen his last penny from 
If you've lost who you are and you're not sure you ever really knew yourself 
You've been washed of every feeling
All hope is lost and you'd rather drown in water than drown in this misery 
If you say you're alive but not living
Your heart beats dry and your mind paces anxiously on regret when the night draws near
If these words strike you like a sudden storm flooding the dam you thought kept you safe then keep listening 
This was me too
You are not alone...
Listen as I tell you about the man who changed my life 
Who can also change yours
His light shined through all that was dark 
No longer did I stumble blind trying to turn the light on myself 
He refreshed my eyes each morning and lightened my heart so I felt for the first time like a child 
When I cried out to him he came to me and rested me in his embrace 
Never once has he let me feel as if I walk alone 
He has banished the enemies within my mind that were like clouds blocking the sun
With a clear mind I have conviction in who I am 
I feel I am myself always, and I feel the greatest joy 
I am truly alive because of this man 
My heart beats life and my mind rests easy at night
This man saved my life
This man is Jesus
