Before I was serving the Lord
My eyes could not see
What Jesus expected from me
But now I am serving the Lord
It was a vain vain life, I didn’t know any better
Didn’t seek the Lord with all my heart and mind and soul and strength
Made excuses why I could partake in worldly ventures
The way of Jesus is a narrow path, but his mercy’s tender
Before I was serving the Lord
I was so lukewarm
I didn’t love with all my heart
But now I am serving the Lord
It was a sad sad life, not knowing if I would end up
In heaven eternally with God or in the lake of fire
I hoped it was the former but I wasn’t for sure
I didn’t know for certain, but now I have hope
Before I was serving the Lord
My thoughts were on the world
On earthly things; I didn’t know him
But now I am serving the Lord
I always hoped that I was saved, but I didn’t really know
I tried to do good but still I made many failures
I have faith that He will save my poor and needy soul
I turned to him and cast my burdens on his shoulders; he loves me
Before I was serving the Lord
I sought after vain things
I wanted to have fun and not live holy
But now I am serving the Lord
Before I was serving the Lord
I had only worldly joy
Got bored, lonely, and always wanting
But now I am serving the Lord
My life didn’t make sense in light of the Gospel
Trying to fill the void that was inside
I was a poor and needy soul
But now I have a friend that sticketh closer than a brother
Jesus is my friend and he’s my alrighty savior
Now I am serving the Lord
I have peace, joy, hope, and love
The kind that only comes from above
Never left empty and wanting
