You came into my life

You came Into My Life



When you came into my life

It was the winter of understanding

A volcanic eruption in the numbness of my heart

You saw me as I was as I truly could be

You saw me.



When you came into my life

My soul was crying out for the meaning,

The season of truth was written

And my heart could take no more

When you came into my life.



I felt the seasons changing,

Breath drawn in slow quivers

A wondering of all things wonderful

When you took my hand

And came into my life

Awakened, aware, I see though new eyes

Eyes of old

My own eyes

Feeling, wanting, loving

Tasting the faith upon my lips

For the first time,

Again walking

In the reality of my own existence

When you came into my life.



You saw the truth,

Deep in the confusion of my soul

You saw the truth and made me real

When you came into my life.



Who I was,

Who I could be,

What was deep inside of me

Hidden, barely breathing

Lost in the essence of another

Freed

When you came into my life.



You helped me break the chains

Tame the thoughts

The fears,

Catering to the caretaker

Praying for love

Begging for penitence

Kneeing at the altar of man

To blind to see God

Now there is faith,

Wrapped in the knowledge of salvation

When you came into my life.



You did not make me who I am

I am not me, because of you

Rather I am free to be me

Because you let me be,

I feel no fear in the knowledge of myself

Who I am,

Who I want to be

Your touch caused the flower to bloom

The petals to rise to the sun,

The student is ready

The teacher comes

When you came into my life.



The expectations of self realization

Enter my soul

And I grow

Flower, happy, fruitful

Full of hope and understanding

When you came into my life.



The sun has risen on the depths of my deep despair

And I am transformed,

Beautiful

Basking in the radiant glow of love

For loves sake

Of give and take

No ransom needed

Here because I want to be

Because you came into my life.
