i was on the road to hell
like the woman at the well
bound by careless decision making
i needed and awakening
wrong choices left and right
creating division and strife
bound by pain and regret
and trouble in my soul
i lost a part of me
but deep inside i knew
the key to set me free
little girl lost looking for love at any cost
where did she go
when her Savior
she came to know
in that tiny white church of long ago
but many years have passed
since that moment that I met
the one who held the key
to my destiny
little girl lost looking for love at any cost
like an addict to a drug
the lure always seemed to be there
trying to find someone who cared
who might fill the void
i was hiding deep inside
fleeting moments of sin
selling of my soul
for momentary embraces
my mind now tries to erase
little girl lost looking for love at any cost
looking for prince charming
my state of mind alarming
death might be the answer
to end the disgrace and shame
i didn’t want to face
gentle nudges drew me near
i had to face my fears
looking at the cross
i saw all i had lost
with a repentant heart
it gave me a new start
with forgiveness of sin
now i could win
freedom at last
letting go of the past
no longer bound up in chains
now i can claim-I am forgiven
with my Lord do I delight
as he has put my past to flight
what i looked for i have found
it was there all along
the love i wanted
from the one that gave me life…..
