I Lost Everything...   But Found Jesus!

I didn't know how good I had it,

until I lost all that I owned.

I lost my family, my cars

and even my home.

I tried to live a life according

 to a "good principle."

I let pride get in the way and

 felt "invincible."

I once had money, wealth and fame.

It seemed like everyone around

 me all knew my name.

I feel empty, afraid

and "at my wit's end."

Everyone has left me.

 Even my close “friends.”

Jesus... You're the one I know

that I can call upon.

You make things "right"

when all seems "wrong."

Only you can give,

what money can never buy.

I humbly kneel before you Lord,

with a desperate cry.

Please help me dear Jesus!

 I know that you can.

I read in your word that you are;

"I AM that I AM!"

In YOU... Jesus... I can

 find life's meaning.

Your life for mine,

 is what I'm receiving!

You're my best friend whom

I love so much.

I long for your mercy and peace...

your "special touch."

You alone can bring true joy that

fortune could never give.

You brought me hope, peace

 and a reason to live!
