Had I known, then
What I know now,
Would my choices been
different;
My life better, somehow?,
When I held
the reins,
Had I hawed ''stead of gee''d
Would the sign ''pon my pathway
Be "You''re
Bound To Succeed"?
Had I answered the knock,
When You stood at my heart''s door,
Would "Peace Like A River"
Flood my soul, evermore?
And, would "Joy Everlasting"
Be my cherished refrain?
Would Light swallow the darkness
And expunge this bitter pain?
"
Yes", replied Jesus, "For,
The Truth
will make you free.
Your life
will be
differentIf you''ll only choose me".
Their tears mingled with The Blood,
''Neath The Cross, ''pon the ground
And a life changed, eternally,
That, before, was Hell bound.
Angels began rejoicing
Hallelu Yah''s fill''d Heaven''s shore.
The Holy Spirit sealed The Promise,
"
Death to Life Forevermore"!
