Open Mic #2

So many troubled times
I was always looking for a way out
Of a relationship with the Living God
I didn't even want to talk about
Though He has been present
Every second of my life
It wasn't till in my mid-twenties
That I came to Christ
Before that happened
I was a miracle to just be alive
From bad neighborhoods
Shaken-baby syndrome
Schizophrenia
Prescribed antipsychotics
I was going through psychosis
I became a Muslim
I didn't care who noticed
Though my heart was shattered
It was broken
It wasn't till I asked Him in
That my eyes were opened
All this time
Thinking no one knows me
But since day 1
Jesus says He knew me
He knew that I would slip
He knew that I would fall
I was on my high horse
My ego just as tall
I hated Christians
I hated Jews
I probably even
Hated you, too
But I hated myself
More than I thought
I would tell Jesus
To just back off
But He wouldn't
And thank God He never did
He loved me since day 1
I was always His kid
I was baptized
In 2013
In the Name of Jesus Christ
He washed my sins clean
I've a new lease on life
I hope you know what I mean
If you really want to know
Read John 3:16
