I had given up trying to live my life right
My life was not pleasing to Your sight
So many times Your call I denied
Out of Your will I did abide
I tossed and turned in the bed last night
Still trying to fight what I knew was right
Than all at once I jumped out of the bed
For nothing could stop me from bowing my head
As I bowed my head and went to my knees
I asked for forgivness and Lord revive me
The prodigal child wants so to come home
Lord renew my heart to the peace once known
As I prayed my prayer my heart began to feel
A power, surge thru me that was oh so real
I stood to my feet and felt so alive
Forgiven my sin and my heart revived
Too excited to sleep and no one awake to tell
I took out my bible and drank from the well
I wish you my friend this peace to see
Just open your heart and bend your knee

Reason for writing:
When I wrote this, things in my life were a mess. I knew the right thing to do but had been fighting it. In June of last year I quit fighting.
This was a good night...I wish everyone could have a night like this.
