When I was a baby
All I’d ever want
Was love, sleep, food
And a dry diaper.
When I was just 10
The things that I craved
Were adventure, junk food
And time with my friends
When I was twenty
I was all messed up
Lived on drugs, booze
Sex and little sleep
But then came twenty-four
A big change in my life
I learned of Jesus Christ
And His stunning sacrifice
Ever since that day
My desire’s been
To love Him with my all
And love my fellow man.
In response to the daily prompt Desire
I heard a tale I’d heard before
When I was just a child
I wondered if it’s truth or lore
Because this time I was wild
It told of one who gave His life
To take away my sins
It said He was my sacrifice
To bring me peace within
When I realized the tale was true
I did not hesitate
To try Him out as something new
Before it was too late
Now I must say He rescued me
From all my guilt and shame
Come to Him and you will see
For you He’ll do the same
In response to the daily prompt Hesitate
It won’t make us faster
Or taller or thinner
When we give our hearts to the Lord
It won’t make us stronger
Or better or purer
To start to rely on His word
But He promises us
He will quicken our bodies
That means we will be more alive
Most days I need a good
Boost to my spirit
So I’m glad to give Him my life
It won;t make us fastIn response to the daily prompt Quicken
The life I lived was full of drink
Not water I’m afraid
I never thought I’d stop and think
How helpless I became
My life was going nowhere fast
My arid soul was weak
Then someone helped me know at last
It’s Jesus I should seek
I looked into the word of God
The living water flowed
That day I took Him as my Lord
His life did fill my soul
He rescued me in every way
He gave me life brand new
If you are struggling day by day
He’ll do the same for you
In response to the daily prompt Arid
The gossip mills were churning
In my younger years
They said all kinds of nasty, juicy things
Most of them were true
As I was quite a wreck
I deserved the words their gossip brings
But then I met the Savior
Who took away my sin
And set me on a course to new life
Now I’m full of fruit
The Spirit gives to me
My juicy life is much more sweet and nice
In response to the daily prompt Juicy
My life was such a mess back then
I gave death little thought
I always lived my life down here
Like I didn’t give a squat
But then I learned there was a hell
And it was not for me
I didn’t want to burn down there
For all eternity
So I accepted Christ as Lord
And the price He paid for me
And I will live in heaven above
For all eternity
In response to the daily prompt Squat
There was a time
When I knew not
What Jesus did for me
I hadn’t heard
About His love
Or death on Calvary
I didn’t know
His sacrifice
Was given in my place
I hadn’t heard
Of His mercy
Or His amazing grace
But now that I know I’ll praise Him
From the dawn ’til setting sun
I’ll lift my voice and hands up high
For all that He has done
I’ll praise Him for His goodness
I’ll praise Him for His love
I’ll praise Him for the mansion
He has built for me above
Now that I know
What Jesus did
To set me free from sin
Others must hear
About His love
And all He’s done for them
I’ll let them know
The price He paid
That He died to set them free
I’ll share the word
And testify
The He would die for me
I will worship Him on high
And I will praise His name
I’ll tell the world of His great love
I’ll tell them how I’ve changed
And when I gt the chance to pray
For someone to be saved
I’ll celebrate with the heav’nly host
And lift His name in praise
Oh, glory to the Son of God
Glory to His name
His love has saved us all from sin
I’ll lift my voice in praise
Oh what a wonderful Father
Oh what a marvelous friend
He’ll keep me in His loving arms
Until the very end
I wandered through my younger years
My path was growing dim
I didn’t know which way to turn
Until I turned to Him
He set my face to better things
He turned my life around
He took my feet from sinking sand
Placed me on solid ground
Oh what a wonderful Father
Oh what a marvelous friend
He’ll keep me in His loving arms
Until the very end
I’m resting in His promises
And when the trials come
I turn to His great mercy
He saves me by His love
One day He will come back for me
And take me to His throne
I’ll worship Him forevermore
In my eternal home
Oh what a wonderful Father
Oh what a marvelous friend
He’ll keep me in His loving arms
Until the very end
He overcame sickness
So I could be healed
The stripes on His back paid the price
He overcame sorrow
So I could have joy
His suff’ring would more than suffice
He overcame turmoil
So I could have peace
More peace than the world ever knew
He overcame doubt
So I could have faith
I can trust that His word will be true
By the stripes on His back He is victorious
By the thorns in His brow He is glorious
By the nails in His hands
He became Christ the Lamb
He has overcome for all of us
He overcame fear
So that I could have hope
My eternal home was secured
He overcame hate
And gave me His love
A love that is faithful and sure
He’s laid up a crown for me
Heaven’s my destiny
I’ll soon be with Him up there
But until that day
He’s made a way
For me to have victory
By the stripes on His back He’s victorious
By the thorns in His brow He is glorious
By the nails in His hands
He became Christ the Lamb
He has overcome for all of us
I once had stinking thinking
When my head was screwed on wrong
When I got drunk and high on drugs
I thought good things would come
For several years I wandered far
And messed up my own life
But then one day I thought a sec
And opened up my eyes
I couldn’t help but criticize
The mess I’d made so far
I quickly came to realize
That life was one big scar
So I gave my heart to Jesus
And He healed me inside out
Now I have a joy and peace
My life has all worked out
