Truth From A Voice

There was a time when I was weak,
I could not walk upon my feet.
I could not speak the words of truth,
Only lies and bitter deceit.

I crawled along a path so rough,
With winding roads of gravel and dust.
I was blind about the world outside,
And did not care if I lived or died.

Then deep within my heart it spoke,
Of worlds of riches and paths of gold.
It spoke to me in my silent sleep,
To stand up tall and use my feet.

It spoke of family and friends so dear,
It spoke loving words I needed to hear.
It spoke of love and ties that bind the hearts
And souls of all mankind.

The voice that spoke inside me that day,
Came from the Lord in a beautiful way.
He gave me a reason to stand on my feet,
To speak the truth and wash away my deceit.

He showed me a path that I should take,
And gave me a chance to correct my mistakes.
He helped me rise to my feet once more,
And taught me to fight back against pain and scorn.
Thank you Lord this child's been born.
