Lord, take me back to where I was
Before I let the devil have me
He's carried me away from You, oh Lord
He's taken my eyes and I can no longer see

Living like this is nothing
I've got nothing to look forward to
But if I could see a ray of light
I know it'd lead me back to You

Your salvation makes me breathless
And surprises me every day
I can't wait to go to heaven
If, by Your will, I may

Your words are not wasted on me
But I can't hear exactly what You're saying
I'm trying to get back to You, Lord
Until then, I'll keep on praying

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;

Now, I'm not one for religious pieces, but this was very powerful. Excellent work, really. Very nice, developed ryhme scheme and it flowed well. I actually really liked this, great job!
