Here I am, Lord Jesus!

For many years... My life has been

an embarrassment...

Filled with hopelessness, worry

 and discouragement.

So many things I thought I enjoyed...

Havet left in my life

 a large, empty void.

Many nights, I would

Have trouble trying to sleep...

Knowing the hole my life was in,

was very, very deep.

Then one day, I called out to God,

 not sure if he'd listen.

A relationship with him...

I was now missin'.

My family prayed for me for so many years.

I would often bring them

embarrassment and tears.

Please come into my heart

and cleanse me within!

Set me free from my troubles

and sin.

I know that you will never

 let go of my hand.

My whole life, on your word,

I shall now stand.

Only you can satisfy the emptiness in my soul.

For in you, I am now complete,

satisfied, and made whole!
