How He (Jesus) Saved Me

I wasn't raised knowing my Father
And without proper guidance, I chose not to bother
What was the point? My earthly father didn't care
So why was I brought here if he wasn't prepared?

Prepared to show me love, patience, kindness, and self-control
But following God wasn't his goal
We moved states, started a life away from him
What I thought was a bright new future slowly became dim

I dipped my feet into sin, and eventually dove deep
Indulging in it every day, even before I went to sleep
Now the seeds had been planted, and I couldn't let go
Where the seed of faith needed to be, the fruit of the world started to grow

The world told me it was normal, but I knew it was wrong
But the quiet of my room made the temptation strong
"I'll never tell anyone.." I'd say to reassure
Not knowing the One who did know would one day be the cure

Suddenly, everyone was alone and in isolation
Now our technology and health have become a fixation
Distracted from the Truth and covered in fear,
I wondered why I was even meant to be here

I began to build my identity off of the world's rotten fruit
Anger, anxiety, and fear were the roots
Unsatisfied with my past, but I can create my future, right?
But even with the world's lenses on, I still couldn't see light

So I tried a few more lenses..why couldn't I see?
The lenses I was trying to wear were breaking easily
No matter how much I tried, I couldn't do it on my own
I was giving up, floating my way to a danger zone

But a Man reached down and began to lift me up
The sin I almost drowned in was replaced with a full cup
This water was living, not like any I'd had before
He placed me back on my feet, became my Mentor

He showed me the Truth and planted new seeds
I submitted to Him, and He fulfilled all of my needs
All along I searched for love, unsure of where to look
Not knowing that love was written into a Book

A love letter from a Father who never left me
A Father who created everything that we see
The trees, the waters, and the people you love
Even those people that you may not want to think of

He challenges us to lo
