My Earthly Savior

My Earthly Savior                                            March 9, 2006

You must be the salvation

That Jesus promised me

When last I conversed

With Him and The Father,

But I never thought such things

Came in beautiful packages

As you, my earthly savior.

You see, I'm a troubled soul,

And once I thought I swam

In the devil's toilet bowl,

But then, I learned that

Reaching for The Light

Truly works miracles

Every day and every night.

I thought I had no kindred spirit

Until the stakes were up,

And something just had to give.

I thought I had nowhere to turn

Until Jesus came to me in a dream,

And gave me some life-saving tips.

I thought I had nowhere for love

Until The Lord happened me upon you,

My darling, my earthly savior.

I never thought myself a bad person,

Just a person who had lost his direction.

I had made life's many rounds,

Some good, but others terribly bad.

I had gone from one false lover to another,

And constantly was in bed with danger

Until I had drained myself

Of all my self-will power.

Then you came along

When I opened up to God,

And pulled me from hell's fire.

Now, I have more desire

Thanks to The Lord,

And you, my love, my earthly savior.
