Looking back I remember a small child long ago
A troubled soul until the day Your grace I came to know
Your precious love watched over me through my troubled years
You carried me each and every time that life would bring me tears
So many times my troubles would weigh heavy on my mind
I turned my face away from You and stumbled on so blind
I searched so hard to find the path to bring me home to You
I never truly realized how easy this was for me to do
My hardened heart did cry out, Oh Lord help me please
Then one day it hit me and You brought me to my knees
I asked You to forgive me as You wiped tears from my face
I found the path to bring me home, back to Your saving grace
All it takes is realizing you don't have to go through life alone
I tried for many years you see and my heart was cold as stone
Now the Lord has turned my night into the light of day
Listen to His call my friend and He will guide the way
