You Never Left Me

When I chose to ignore your calling, and direction for my life
You Never Left Me

When I purposefully chose the world, and all its empty promises
You Never Left Me

When I felt as though you had abandoned me, and that you couldn’t be trusted
You Never Left Me

When I wrongly blamed you for all the struggles, and the trials throughout my life
You Never Left Me

When through my thoughts and actions, I placed myself over others
You Never Left Me

When I allowed my mind to wander through sinful pleasures
You Never Left Me

When I didn’t believe you would provide for me or my family
You Never Left Me

When I failed to trust you with my finances, and the blessings you had given me
You Never Left Me

When I looked for meaning and fulfillment in life, outside of you
You Never Left Me

As I look back over the days I have lived, I can now clearly see
You Never Left Me

Going forward with each remaining day, Jesus help me to always remember
You Never Left Me, and You Never Will!
