Bad Choices


I've often been in places
I knew I shouldn't be
There were so many times
Your Spirit spoke to me
So many times He tried to warn
So many times He failed
Because I wouldn't listen
As on through life I sailed

There were some times in my life
Bad choices I had made
Yet You walked there with me
Trying to give me aid
I wouldn't listen to your Spirit
As He spoke so sweet to me
I didn't know dear Jesus
Your love could set me free

Until the night things got so rough
I didn't know what to do
But in that place of worship
You finally got through
Oh please forgive me Father
I cried to you that night
When I got up from my knees
I knew that things were right

I knew no more I'd walk alone
I'd have someone to share my cares
I'd have someone to stand by me
When my eyes were filled with tears
I knew I had a life long friend
I'm glad you got through to me
And oh I thank you Father
For you set me oh so free.
