ALL I WANT IS YOU

ALL I WANT IS YOU

Life has taken me down roads I never should have traveled
and mistakes I've made along the way are there to see.
I used to think that love was something to hold on to forever
but the love I found turned out to be a bitter memory.

I gave up on trying to find that special one to fill my life,
it seemed easier to just live for the present, not the future.
I wandered aimlessly through years of my own selfish will.
Taking, never giving love, I had no time at all to nurture.

Olden days and the golden ways of living a kind of lie,
knowing that I needed to find a someone for my life.
It wasn't an easy time, I had some hard thinking to do,
maybe I will let go of the past and the self-inflicted strife.

It took a lot of crying over milk I had spilled along the way.
If this sounds like a confession, you might just be right.
I had hit rock bottom on the pathway to some happiness,
then one day I woke up, I had made it through the night.

Now all I want is you, for you have come when needed most.
You took my hand and understood the meaning of my dreams.
I begged for forgiveness , and Lord, you were quick to forgive,
I stepped into the light and life is better, no more schemes.

It's amazing what faith and prayer can do for a sinner such as I.
The days are full of wonder and the skies are always blue.
I will walk hand in hand with the someone I've searched for
and Jesus, now I know that all I ever needed - was you.

Praise God for lifting me up, seeing me, loving me anyway!.
