I am sharing the lyrics to a song that has much meaning to me. I hope someone might enjoy it.
An Amy Grant song written by Ron Hembry. I bought the CD because of this one beautiful song.
Innocence Lost
I can't relive my life, I can't retrace my tracks
I can't undo what's done, there is no going back
Did not survey the cost, Illusions disappeared
I found my innocence lost.
Some say it's lessons learned, some say it's living life
I say it's choices made, knowing wrong from right.
One night I fought to sleep, in my slumber I turned and tossed
I woke to a cloudy day, found my innocence lost.
An innocent child is a beautiful thing, secure in a Father's arms
Sleeps while Mother sings.
There's no way to know all the harm this world can bring
I miss my innocence, oh to be innocent.
My heavenly Father, The well of eternal love
That overflows with grace, I can completely trust
My broken heart repaired, all my sins forgot.
I can be pure again in spite of my innocence lost.
In His eyes I'm a newborn child, cause I accept His love
I have a new found hope, though I found my innocence lost
Blessed am I to come across the blog on Faith. Blessed am I God was not finished with me. I had become bitter and hard, and for a time I even wondered about the existance of God. I came across a Joel Osteen program one Sunday morning, I hoped God would give me another chance and change my life so that I might live for Him. I have done many things I am so ashamed of. I am an alcoholic, but with God's love and grace I have abstained. I know God forgives me for my past, but I have a really hard time forgivng myself.
I am hoping that by sharing my story, that I can perhaps help another, as well as help myself come to terms with some of my past.
To be continued another time.
