From the Beginning.....

From the start
How do I count the ways
You have been with me each day,
Stepping to the side when I was wrong
Guiding me when I was young and strong.

Memories flying past the corridors of my heart.
The broken promises I made to God from the start.
Concepts left behind of what my parent\'s taught.
My vision becoming frustrated and distraught.
I felt no peace within this heart of mine.
Something missing I couldn\'t quite define.

I did not know what I was searching for
But I felt you knocking at my heart\'s door.
I came to realize it was your love and grace I That I needed to fill 
that empty space.
Pleasures of sin did not fill my empty life
While Satan fiddled it was full of strife.
