BACK IN THE DAYS WHEN GOD WAS GOOD (to me)

I remember a time before innocence drifted away,

Those were the days when

God Blessed Me with a pure heart not led astray,

You came into my life like

a spring breeze upon the fresh morning dew,

And then I knew that my heart and soul belonged to you; Forever my love for you became

The center of all things to me,

A heavenly gift, you were life itself; guardian angel of my heart.

But alas, I did not know

To be careful for what I wished for

Because you reap what you sow,,

I worshipped and adored you so,

Never realizing that I wasn't ready to know

All that was goodness in you needed to be,

Treasured, Nurtured and Worshipped;

Guarded jealously from the hungry world taking aim at me.

I couldn't understand how much you'd mean to me,

And I let the ways of the world cloud my path to paradise that you made for me.

I became the fool who squandered your blessings away,

Blinded to Your Love that saved me every day,

And I lost your heart and my way

Along that two-way street,

I lost my heart and my soul

As a blind man in the dark

For years the memory of losing you tore me apart,

I wandered this bitter earth,

A man without a home

Seraching desperately, like a tiger in the rain...Afraid of the thunder and lightening he can never explain;

Doomed to wander and cursed to roam,

The four corners of this world

Seeking to reclaim the one thing worth all,

A chance at redemption, forgiveness and yes, the sound of your sweet love call;

The years have come and gone

Flowing like water between my praying hands,

And my empty heart hangs heavy with a sorrow that's more than a man can stand;

I can never forget you

No matter how hard I try,

Because, time and the Lord knows the answer I seek and why;

As this road of my living comes to the end of the road,

And the sun begins to set

of one sure thing I know;

You are the Love of My Life

as God can surely tell,

And being with you, for you is where my soul will forever dwell;

A Love like ours is divine you see,

And Death Shall have No Dominion in keeping you from me because...

I Love You.....
