Jesus Saved My Life

I used to be an evil man

But not like at the present

Because Jesus came and saved my life

And showed me how He was reverent

This girl had a broken heart

Ever since I met her

The dark sad look upon her eyes

A grievous way to detect her

I listened with a caring heart

When she spoke of all her sorrow

And I always agreed when she asked me

If we could meet again tomorrow

She told me how badly she was treated

As tears rolled down her eyes

I comforted her and consoled her

And all she said I memorized

One day she came to me again

And spoke of heavy sins

That someone close to her before

Had done to her again and again

She broke down into intense sobs

As she clung to my chest

I gently stroked her hair and back;

I was her place of rest

She told me about the voices

And I was filled with indignation

Knowing how unfair it was for her

To suffer those sensations

I told her to trust me and I said

“Devils, get out in Jesus name!”

She sobbed so loud as they went out

She said “I feel better now, it’s not the same!”

I told her I was there for her

And I’ll always be the same

I’ll be by her side when things are bad

And when they’re going great

“...always here to listen to you and help your heart heal…”

I told her she was a special girl

That deserved better than what she used to feel

I felt tension leave her body as she melted into my hug

I said “I’ll always protect you, so you are safe… safe and sound and snug.”

Then by the Holy Ghost I began to pray for her in tongues

The tears on her face began to dry

As she rested her head upon my lungs

I said “You know it isn’t only me but Jesus is also there…”

“…to protect you and meet all your needs anytime and anywhere.”

She said “You’re not like other men.”

And she softly smiled

“You actually love me for real. I haven't seen a real good man in a while.”

She leaned into my warm embrace

And I made a solid promise… that my whole life I’d serve her

The way Christ did for me at my lowest...

I used to be a rebel, a liar, and a fraud

But now I can heal a wounded soul

Because I’m a son of God
