My Life

by Kirstie Faulds

I hated my life, all those around me,
Parents, friends, my self most of all.
I didn't respect; I wasn't well liked,
I looked for a rock under which I could crawl.

I looked to fill a void in me,
The deepest of blackest holes.
My bed was made, that I should lie,
In the sorrows of my soul.

I dabbled in witchcraft, in drugs and drink,
I drowned in the waves of the world.
I sank lower and lower, to the pit of despair,
To Satan, my life was sold.

I became a depressed, solitary person,
That no one could love or want.
I acted big, I acted hard,
I put on a pretense a front.

I came to be a twisted young girl,
With eyes as black as sin.
God changed my heart, my life my self,
He changed me from with in.

All my past has been forgiven,
A new life now I see.
Now my heart it beats for God,
He's told me who to be.

Jesus Christ is the only one,
To give this life a new.
He loves me more than life it's self,
I can love Him now too.

Rebirth to me has spread my wings,
The Spirit in me reborn.
The future was bleak, nothing there,
I saw it as a thorn.

I love my life, my friends, my self,
God now dwells in me.
I wanted death; was given life,
The Kingdom, now I see.

He spoke to me is walking with me,
Carrying me on my journey.
I rejoice in life with love and laughter,
So, humbly I bow the knee
