Sunlight of JAH

SUNLIGHT OF JAH

I was a wreck, crash and burn baby
Broken, wounded, alive but dead
My life was filled with fear, pain, and dread
I was blinded by the darkness
That clouded my head
A lost soul on the lost highway
Wasted and longing for death
Hope abandoned, didn't know how to pray
Blackened soul, I struggled for breath
Dancing with the devil going down real slow
In a river of booze that was drowning my soul
Running from truth, living a lie
With pain in my eyes and no tears left to cry
Then it happened, the miracle came
I finally quit fighting, I learned a new game
Like a Phoenix from the ashes I rise
A gift from my Father, without compromise
On fire, with desire, fears disappear
The sunlight of His Spirit, the patience of His gaze
Burns in me forever, guides me through the haze
