Story behind the song
Life's daily trials inspired me to write this. the music began as a song for friend that died in an auto accident when we were all around 20. i never could get any lyrics to mean what i was feeling so i wrote different words about 5 years later about a different subject.
Lyrics
I'm the guilty one.
I tripped and fell along the way.
I am a fortunate one,
You picked me up, outta my decay.
I don't know why... it's grace.
I don't know why... it's grace.
I broke the rules you made,
A million times i died, i died.
I begged for your mercy's sake.
And you showed me the truth and light.
The darkness whimpered and it cried,
The darkness ran from the light...
Temptations attack from every side,
I fight them off, behold the light.
Hold in my heart, the power and might,
The Spirit of truth, it makes the dismal die.
I broke the rules you made,
I took another path, i strayed.
Into the line of fire i played, (but I)
Had to lay down in the bed i made. (i was)
Chained to the bonds of my device,
You broke me free from all the lies.
Come and my soul, I need a hand to hold,
Do what you will, i need your light.
Temptations attack from every side,
I fight them off, behold the light.
Hold in my heart the power and might,
The Spirit of truth makes the dismal die.
