Song Lyrics
Standing in the rain, no shoes on my feet
I was scared with no direction, treading through the water
I once was drowning in, now I emerge into a new land
Trafficked in the streets, I have prayed for months
For God to show me the way, police picked me up
The courts sent me to treatment, so I follow in God’s way
Been lost for so long, no way to go but up
Struggling through the murky waters
Starting to cross over Jordan, finally see the light
Step by step, ask, seek, knock
Waiting for my plane passed out before boarding
I woke up in the ER, and it wasn’t the first time
I know it was God who was waking me up
Been lost for so long…
At home in the dark, drinking, taking pills
Hurting everyone, so ashamed, I wanted to die
I asked for help, now I have freedom
Been lost for so long…
Drinking by myself, I could not quit
Had an old school landline, knocked it on the floor
The operator sent help, those angels brought back my faith
Been lost for so long…
