Looking back at my life, and the places that I have been
The many years I've wasted, the many years I've sinned
So many times I failed to heed the voice from deep inside
And wondered why I never shed the emptiness I tried to hide
These years are gone forever, I'll answer for them someday
But now I look towards better things I know will come my way
For I no longer have the emptiness, that I tried so hard to hide
For someone prayed for me to hear that voice from deep inside
I listened to that little voice as it brought me to my knees
I prayed a little prayer and then my eyes were made to see
The wisdom that this life is short and one day this life will end
But now I have eternal life, by accepting Jesus as my friend
