THEN YOU CAME ALONG

I was searching
looking outward
looking inward
traveling to the highest mountains
and hottest deserts
journeying to sacred lands
in search of meaning, in search of love.
I prayed day and night
to find you
I was about to give up hope...

Then you came along and stole my heart
without judgment, without hate
this is our fate
your blinding light from above
penetrated deep within my soul and saved me.

Darkness had surrounded me like a blind man searching for sight
my heart breaking, being shattered in two
I was lost and could not be found
I didn't know what to do.
Even though the church discouraged the sin that was in me
Temptation beckoned me
and I fell to the addictions of life...

Then you came along and stole my heart
without judgment, without hate
this is our fate
your blinding light from above
penetrated deep within my soul and saved me.

I was teetering on the edge
trembling with fear
caught in between shadow and light
I was weary and heavy laden
the thick smoke gaged me
like a zombie, I needed to get rest
but did not know who to give it to
I had no one to trust
my faith was low
I cried out in pain
"Please help me! I need your love! Where are you?"... 

Then you came along and stole my heart
without judgment, without hate
this is our fate
your blinding light from above
penetrated deep within my soul and saved me.
