He met me at the bottom, as He gently reached and took my hand

He said I know you’re hurting, but what needs mending, only I can

He pulled me from my hurt, my vanity, my shame

He called me His, and He knew me by my name

He then walked beside me and said to come and follow him

I am here to save you, from your pain and from your sin

In step I followed where He called me to be

Sometimes in my blindness, His wisdom gave me eyes to see

His words gave me direction, to help along the way

He said with Him in Heaven, I would be someday

Though on my walk, I would at times need correction

For I did not listen, to His direction

I would start to stumble, to slip and to take my own lead

Only to be reminded, it was Him that I did need

For life with Him is so much better

For the ups and downs in this life, He helped me weather

Through the storms, the hard, the triumphs and the grand

Life was always better, when He had my hand

For in this life there is much to be dealt

Both good and bad, many things to be felt

Though this one thing in life, I know the most

Life has meaning; with the Father, Son and Holy Ghost

For as He takes me by the hand

This is something, I understand

That life can be uncertain, though I am certain of this

That I am loved, and that I am His

I know with Him I have become a winner

For Christ saved my soul, even though I am a sinner

For He reaches out, to all of us, it is true

That God’s love is unending, for me and for you
