I
once was a child of the shadows
Struggling
alone each day
I
lived in a world without pity or hope
No
light to show me the way
Then
into my ear came a whisper
There’s
somebody you should know
I
turned about to see who was there
And
looked into eyes where love softly glowed
The
voice that I heard was so gentle
Yet
with awesome power and might
It
smashed down the walls of my prisoner heart
Then
gave it wings to take flight
Straight
into the arms of my Saviour
And
into the light of His throne
No
more to be lost in the shadows of life
Safe
in his love I’ve come home
