I Am Saved

I wrote a poem some time ago, called "I Am Saved" - this is a re-work of that piece:

I spent so long searching
For answers in the world
But never really seeking
The truth within Your word

Such terrifying storms
I battled in the night
As darkness closed upon me
I was rescued by Your light

I've needed You since the beginning
Now I need You more each day
More, Jesus, by the minute
For it's You who leads the way

Jesus, You pursued me
Unclean lips and heart of stone
My heart, You then nourished
With a love I'd never known

So humblely I accept
The gift You give in victory
I praise your holy name
In awe of your majesty
