Jesus Christ Is the Way

My husband abandoned me

And I took a very long journey

I had children to take care of

But, my strength alone was not enough

Soon, I became a drug addict

With power to explode

For what I sought to self inflict

Took me down a hard road

I never looked in the mirror

For I had become something ugly

Then, one day I knelt in terror

Praying to end my life of drugging

 God led me down a path of peace

Found in a simple scripture

The words: "Seek and you shall find" did please

And for more I did venture

For in truth I wanted more

To no longer be confused

I sought to repent to the Lord

And my family I had abused

Twenty-seven years is a long time

To try to "do this life" alone

But through the Book of Mormon I find

The way to Christ that it makes known

Today I can look in the mirror

And feel God's love, superior

"Today I want everyone to see

What the Lord has done with me!"
