My conversion brought drastic change;
Thoughts of me were never the same.
I thought I was unshakably strong,
Yet I proved to be weak; I was wrong.

I thought I knew God, and He knew me,
But I desired all the glory.  
I said to everyone, “Look at me!”
“Look at my splendor and majesty!”

Self-centered, sensual sins
Never ceased to reign within.
I kept my monster-self caged in
Hypocritical bars of fake religion.

I hated God and I hated His law.
My whole life showed that all
I did was sin.  I did not know Him,
And He knew not me- I was dead.

But at an appointed moment in time,
God saved this heart of mine.
In light of His purity, I saw my sin,
And repentance developed deep within.

God graciously opened my eyes to see
Jesus’ death was meant for me.
He died condemned in my place
So I would be saved by grace through faith.

Undeserving of God’s wonderful gift,
I cannot help but want to live
In a way that seeks to glorify Christ,
My Beloved Savior, my All, my Life!
