One day I stopped
and surveyed all around me
and considered my life.
And came to realize
there is naught
of the old that
I would have.
One day
I looked back
and found
nothing
to go
back to.
Save sin
and disgrace.
Praise God
I looked forward
and saw grace
and love
that drew me
forward.
Jesus was
still standing
there.
Arms outstretched
tears streaming
down.
Crying out
Come unto Me
and I will
give you rest
unto your soul.
I have come too far to turn back!
