my world was very empty
and also very cold
i had no dreams
but one night while i slept
i heard a voice
i opened my eyes
and there before me
was the almighty Himself
He looked at me
and held my hand
He said, i understand
He told me that i must try
to turn my life around
He said, the best way to start
was for me to serve Him
He said, spread the word far and near
don't you worry
I'll always be here
i worked day and night
telling everyone i'd see
that the Lord is the only way
i'd tell them how He saved me
i'm no longer empty
i'm no longer cold
i have dreams
i'm alive once again
