I'm not allowed to do the things I used to do
I'm not allowed to travel the same roads I used to trod

My direction in life was abruptly changed
By the breath of our Almighty God

I was once a wayward sinner wandering everywhere
I was a lost soul searching for a lighthouse somewhere

Then the hand of Jesus touched me
Lifting me out of the miry clay of sin
I now praise His Holy Name and thank Him again and again
