When That Moment Came by Tim Lantz My day started normal Full of anger and pride My temper was short I had no control inside In darkness I dwelled My heart became stone I had shut out the world I was lost and alone I thought of the days When I was a boy With innocent eyes And a life filled with joy What happened to me? Where did I stray? Why do I feel so empty Day after day? He kept calling my name But I wouldn’t hear it I had pushed Him away I’d forgotten His spirit And still He kept trying To catch my eye To see if I’d notice Him To see if I’d try Then that moment came I said, “What can it hurt?” I had humbled my self I felt worthy of dirt So I opened up my heart And He reached deep down inside I lost all of my anger I lost all of my pride He softened my heart And then He gave me a sign He whispered in my ear and said to me “My son, it’s time.” My eyes welled up with tears I felt sadness and pain and shame I felt peace and love and forgiveness Then my voice cried out His name He took me in his arms And He opened my eyes to see The greatness of His creation And the man that I must be The greatest gift a person can give Is Jesus Christ’s true love He will lead you to the forgiveness From Our Father in Heaven above Amen
