Saved From A Life

This was supposed to post after the post before. Read the post before this for the explaination and what's been going on with me.

What would I have been?

Where would I be?

If Christ hadn't come,

And saved a girl like me.

There might be things I could have seen,

Or things I might have done,

That brought sorrow to my Savior

And cursed His Holy Son.

Would I have been an abused girl?

Or given my body away?

How many people would I have hurt?

Just doing things my way.

I could have been an empty girl,

Trying to fill that missing part.

Would I have tampered with alcohol?

Was that where I would start?

I might have been a confused girl,

Filling void with all those drugs.

Living on a high each day,

Thinking it would fulfill.

What about a girl who saw no point,

Of what life was all about?

One who tried to end it all,

Attempting suicide.

Any of these girls I could have been,

Had Christ not saved me young.

Some folks would say that I don't know,

What salvation's all about.

But I could tell you plainly,

I'm pretty sure I do!

Christ saved me from my sin, oh yes!

But that's not all He did.

He saved me from a wicked life,

I won't ever have to live.

He saved me from the saddness,

The world portrays as fun.

No longer will I think about,

The things I cold have been.

All those places I might have gone,

Alone, and lost in sin.

Now I must keep my eyes ahead,

To what I still can be.

A girl saved young through Jesus' blood,

His child from sin set free!
