lyrics

Not long ago I was a little hellion Up to no good another prodigal son
Hangin’ out with the wrong crowd every day and night
And all our excess could not sate my appetite, whoa-oa

Late nights stayin’ out drinkin’ What the heck was I thinkin’?
They never brought me anywhere but down
Now I’ve come to my senses And I beg Your forgiveness
I finally found a lasting high The day You came into my life

I used to put myself before all other things
I broke some hearts and left them crying in the wings
Before You came into my life I was without direction
Trying to fill the emptiness with hollow fun, whoa-oa

Late nights stayin’ out drinkin’ What the heck was I thinkin’?
They never brought me anywhere but down
Now I’ve come to my senses And I beg Your forgiveness
I finally found a lasting high The day You came into my...

Life was so hard without regard for what I needed to fill my soul
Now You fill me up and I see that it’s Your love that makes me whole

When I look back on all the mistakes that I’ve made
And all the pain I’ve caused to others I’m ashamed
I reflect on those misguided years of self-indulgence
And it’s no wonder that my life never made sense, whoa-oa

Late nights stayin’ out drinkin’ What the heck was I thinkin’?
They never brought me anywhere but down
Now I’ve come to my senses And I beg Your forgiveness
I finally found a lasting high The day You came into my...

Life was pointless and empty When I thought about just me
That never brought me anywhere but down
Now I’ve got myself a new thing And a new song to sing
I finally found a lasting high The day You came into my life
