As I ran from God above
for far too many years,
My life filled up with burdens
and caused so many tears!

As they found their knees in prayer
my family and close friends,
They prayed for God to wake me
before I reached the end.

Yes, my God has stood by me
as much harder I became;
Felt I always had control
when I'd fall and cast the blame!

Let me tell you, here and now,
with my friends, mom and dad
All praying for me daily
no chance I ever had!

You see with prayers as those
God heard near every hour;
My name they all cried out
all praying for God's power!

God answered all their prayers
He's gotten a hold of me;
He wiped my slate so clean
and from burdens, set me free!

As daily now I walk,
with my Savior, hand in hand;
He fills my life with joy
and by Him, I will stand!

My God, as I now pray,
to help me all my life;
Please guide and show me the way
through Earth and all its strife!

I pray you'll show me how
Your steps to fully trace;
Thanks to all who prayed for me,
and Your such amazing grace!
