The Muck and the Mire
I found myself in the muck and mire
A life wasted and in great despair
In the hog pen I found, only Misery and pain.
Till one day He opened my eyes to my
bitter shame.
I began to call on My Father’s name.
I cried to the Lord, now my life He has
totally changed.
A life of sin brings death and hell.
Screaming and crying, endless pain to be
felt.
That ole song it true,
He is calling to me and you.
Bring it to Jesus and surrender all.
A home in heaven when the master calls.
Lay your burdens down at the master’s
feet.
In His loving arms, there is rest for the
weary and weak.
Begging to be restored
I gave my life back to the Lord.
My sins were forgiven
When I knelt and prayed
Under Calvary’s flow my sins He did wash
away.
He restored in me, my faith that was lost.
Because I was burdened down with this
world.
All I needed to do is bring it all to the
cross.
The Holy Spirit met me there, while on my
knees.
He declared God’s mercy and forgiveness,
He pardoned me.
The scars of a life lived in sin
Will go with me to the very end.
Reminding me of where God brought me from.
A new life to live and a Christian race to
run.
The days are brighter since I gave it all
to the Lord.
There is no going back, to this sinful
world any more.
This world doesn’t offer anything but pain
and misery.
I’m heading for my new home in heaven to
be with all my family.
Call upon His name
All of heaven there is to gain.
