The Light
By Mark Cantos
Many are born, but many are not raised/
Worshipping false idols, and trapped in their own ways/
Living out their days, like their life is a waste/
I know there's things in life, that you want to erase/
But hold up, it's not that easy like copy and paste/
I tell you, believe in God and you will be amazed/
This is my testimony of His power and grace/
I was a hooligan, became a born again/
But before then, I didn't understand I was a man drowning in sin/
Not knowing where my life was heading in/
I was in the dark, then discovered the light like Edison/
I was living life so sick, than got a taste of my on medicine/
Cause I lost a friend/
Then I turned to Him/
Now I understand/
So now I'm living life for today, I'm not worried about tomorrow/
I'm looking through these pictures,
Thinking where did the time go?/
I'm speaking through this mic, like I'm trying to be an idol/
I try to speak wise, but really how should I know/
I wish I can get on a plane, and get away/
I feel like I'm running as fast as I can, but I still can't get away/
I'm sick of trying to wish, I wish there was a better way/
So i guess I'm on to another day/
Just hoping and praying it will be better than yesterday/
But right now I'm great/
Relying on my faith/
I'm praying for those who hate/
Forget what they say/
I'm trying to do right/
With this life/
That I have/
And when I do wrong, I get up and I laugh/
Brush it off and I take a second to contemplate/
A moment to meditate/
I'm trying to fix all my mistakes/
I just hope I'm not late/
It's like everywhere I go I see all the same crisis/
People living lies/
And people living lives/
Like they don't know who Christ is/
See you can pretend/
Even to the very end/
But you will one day understand/
That you are only man/
And cannot comprehend/
Everything that has been written/
Everything that has been given/
Since the first day you've been breathing/
So thank God that you're living/
Thank God you're alive/
Do not turn from the truth, there's not a thing you can hide/
See he made you and I/
It was for you that he died/
So tell me why do you deny/
And eat in Hell's kitchen while they're feeding you lies/
I was deceived as a child, made to believe/
To believe with my eyes/
And follow my heart/
Never knowing my heart/
Could lead me to the dark/
So where do I go/
When I've endangered my soul/
Shattered to pieces, I'm trying to make it whole/
I used to treat life like it was a game to me/
I used to chill in places wherever the devil be/
I was a criminal, when people look, that's all they see/
I used to turn my back to Jesus like he was the enemy/
And never once did it occur to me/
That if i continue living life recklessly/
In hell is where I'd spend eternity/
A sinful man today, tomorrow- I accept that/
The troubles from yesterday, I don't regret that/
'Cuz the love from God is what keeps me strong, yeah/
So forget all the things that you think you know/
Don't harden your heart, don't ever let the hate grow/
Just let it go/
I was a crooked guy/
I had people believing my web of lies/
To the point where I couldn't recognize/
Myself in the mirror, when I'd look at my own eyes/
Yeah, I was living life so shameful/
My mama looking at me like, "It's just so painful"/
To see my son like that, I thought he was an angel/
So mama, I'm sorry/
I know I played you like Atari/
So please forgive me 'cause now I know life is not a party/
So Lord I'm praying, "Please help me get my life straight"/
God what I'm saying is I'm trying to give you all my faith/
I'm as real as Jesus Christ, just take a look at my face/
Or better yet my heart, and you will see I'm not fake/
From the way I was, to the way I am now/
Knowing that somehow/
You protected me every step of the way/
When the devil clearly wanted me to step into the night/
But you put up one hell of a fight/
I was a heartless kid/
Not caring for a soul, that's what being heartless did/
But promise you I am a changed man/
My heart belongs to You Lord/
And only You/
Amen.
