I Looked to Him

I wrestled in the dark
Looking for a simple ray of light
I had to get my life
Out of the depths of night
But where could I go
To keep from sinking low?

I looked to Him
The One who set the stars in place
I looked to Him
The One who called my name
When I needed a hand
And when I wanted to run
I looked to Him

I remember a time
When all I could see was the end
I felt so alone
So in need of a friend
But what could I find
To give me peace of mind?

I looked to Him
The One who set the stars in place
I looked to Him
The One who called my name
When I needed a hand
And when I wanted to run
I looked to Him

Please note: this is a song I wrote, not just a poem.  Please let me know what you think, and if you think it portrays a good witness.  Thank you.

This is absolutely lovely.
It portrays a lovely witness to Him.
Your talent is blessed.
We are so pleased to have you here

Welcome! This is a beautiful song, and when I read it, I read it as such!

I think it gives a wonderful message!

When you can't make up your mind,
Which way is right for you,
Stop and softly ask yourself,
"What Would Jesus Do?"

You have a hit record in my book. Love this.
Friends, family and life in general can fail us but we can depend on HIM, just look to Him for the answer and peace. Marcy
