I once was lost
in the dark, with high cost
unable to see, keeping distance
unwilling to be, holding resistance
upside down  and  turned inside out
nothing  but empty and  full of doubt
fighting with myself,  not  ever  to win
diving deeper and darker, driven to sin

Addicted to shame & overdosed on blame
it’s always the same like a moth to a flame
greed is need always need never to succeed
poison amaranth as my soul dies & I bleed
like a sacrificial  lamb led  to the  slaughter
all my senses stunned to the scent of water
old and wise is just the disguise of wisdom
a promise of  God’s everlasting  Kingdom

Faith is hope and love is grace you realize
evil is hate & fear is the cause to fantasize
into the night out of the dark once more
so much more than there was before
I am the way the truth & the light
born again, life after death
I once was lost now
I am found
