I Didn'T Know How Good I Had It Until I Lost Everything I Owned
I didn't know how good I had it,
until I lost all that I owned.
I lost my famly, all of my cars
and even my home.
I tried to live a life according
to a "good principle."
I let pride get in the way and
felt rather "invincible."
I once had money, wealth and a lot of fame.
It seemed like everyone around
me all knew my name.
I feel empty now... afraid....
and "at my wit's end."
Everyone. it seems, has left me.
Even my "close friend.
Jesus... You're the one I know
that I can call upon.
You make things "right"
when all seems "wrong."
What you can give to me,
money could never buy.
I humbly kneel before you Lord,
with a desperate cry.
PLease help me dear Jesus.
I know that you can.
I read in your word that you are;
"I AM that I AM!"
In YOU... Jesus... can I
find life's meaning.
Your life for mine, is what I'm now receiving.
You're my best friend whom
I love so much.
I long for your mercy and peace...
your "special touch."
You alone can bring true joy that
fortune could never give.
You brought me hope and peace
and a reason to live!
