Saved.

<33>

Many nights i woke in tears,

experiencing feelings wose than fear

i sobbed, i cried, for reasons untolld

this repeated act was getting old

i always seemed filled with glee

but my inside feelings no one would ever see

i always laughed and put on a good smile

to try and cover the real way i felt every once in awhile

when i was surrounded by friends and having a good day

the pain seemed to disapear, to go away

but once i was all alone without a good thought to think

the painful feelings would show up at my doorsteps,

before i could blink

there i would stay, and sit and weep

i had to put a stop to this selfpity in which i did not want to keep

i seemed to be trapped inside my own self

until the fateful day i saw a bible on my shelf

while still wiping tears from my eyes,

i reached for that book,

my new guide

i started to read it as i flipped through each page

no longer feeling sadness or a depressing rage

i had finally escaped satins sinful ways

no longer trapped in a mind rattling maze

my heart now no longer mourns,

for those thoughts are now the least of my cares

jesus christ has helped sew the tears

many nights i now lay awake

with joyful feelings no one can take

i now think of much more

for my heart is now no longer sore

i think of the world's many wonders

things such as this are what i now ponder

i think of the future and what it may hold

of the many mysteries ready to unfold

i dream dreams bigger than me

making these dreams real is the key

i also think of how thankful i should be

for the life he has given me

as i once thought, people must pity me

i now think they must envy me

for all that i have, they must truly see

for i have a savior and hes living in me
