awakening
Awakening
Darkness cold clothes my heart
Eyes evil in shadows dart
In worldly ways deaf and blind
With selfishness and greed bind
Chosen to receive the light
From outside this sin filled night
Awakened by the Word from death full sleep
On dirt filled hands my heart does creep
A glimpse of truth from heaven high
Self seeks self but soon must die
Turning from my evil ways
To the One who for me prays
Who died on the cross for me
So I could live in heaven and for ever be
In His grace and under His mercy
