I walked down neon streets at night,
My friends were laughing, saying, “Come on, live your life.”
Flashing lights and shadows whispered low,
Temptation calling in the places I shouldn’t go.
I thought, just one time, I’ll be alright,
But in my heart, a battle burned tonight.
Oh Lord, can You hear my voice?
I’m standing at the edge, this is my choice.
The world may offer silver and gold,
But my soul is worth more than I’ve been told.
Smoke filled the air, laughter turned to haze,
I lost myself in the music and the craze.
Women smiled, the drinks kept pouring fast,
I slipped deeper, thinking freedom would last.
But in the noise, a whisper pierced the dark,
A gentle voice that ignited my heart.
Oh Lord, can You hear my call?
You’re reaching out to catch me as I fall.
The night may promise comfort and thrill,
But Your mercy waits to hold me still.
I froze inside, the world began to fade,
Tears in my eyes for the choices I made.
I fell to my knees, said, God, forgive me now,
I see the trap, and I don’t know how
I let Your voice drown in worldly gain,
Please wash me clean, take away my shame.
And the heavens opened in a quiet way,
Grace like rain swept my guilt away.
I heard, My child, you’re never too far gone,
I’ve been here waiting all along.
I rose with a fire in my soul,
Left behind the lies that took their toll.
I walked past the lights, through the breaking dawn,
A prodigal heart, finally coming home.
No more chains, no more hollow thrill,
Only love that forgives and always will.
Oh Lord, You have called my name,
Redeemed my heart and erased my shame.
The world once pulled, but now I see,
I’m forever loved, and forever free.
Now I tell my story to the ones who stray,
There’s a Shepherd calling when you lose your way.
I lift my hands, say, I’ll never turn again,
For I was lost, but You called me friend.
