I have awakened.

Released from my sin,

And I am starting again.

How strange it is to be alive!

I have purpose, for which I strive,

To worship the Creator: all-wise.

I no longer defend myself, but fight!

To see things in a different light,

To see things from the perspective of Christ.

Though fear tries to cripple me,

No longer, say I, for I've been set free.

I need only go to where He wants me to be.

Words do not come out so well,

But when it comes to Jesus I cannot help but tell,

Of how He caught me when I fell.

So I want my words to be always from the Lord,

I will let His teachings be my binding cord,

And my treasures in Him alone be stored.

Do you know my Jesus, my Savior?

Did you know its YOU He died for?

Well, let me be the first to tell you, that great things are in store.

So listen up and listen close,

For I want Christ in me, for Him to show,

And in Him alone will I forever boast.
