Revived

I sometimes look back to the life I had

Everyone thought I was good, but  I was rotten to the core bad

But that's the past, I am never coming back

Because I have something now that then I had lacked

The love of the Lord, and His forgiveness

Now I do the Lord's business, as God as my witness

My prayers go out to those who don't know

But His love for them remains, no matter where they go

You can run, but you can't hide

Trust me, as one who had always denied 

I was caught by the light

Over my soul the darkness soon lost the fight

And in the glory of God I was saved

And all my past sins were waved

So now I try to stay away from the shadows

Before it engulfs me again with one big swallow

But from the stomach of the whale I have survived

Because with the Lord I have become revived
