how I used to be

 

Each new day a quest for why

Each new hour a search for me

Each new week the joys fly by

That’s how I used to be.

 

Each new day a lonely walk 

Each new prayer from guilt to free

Each new thought of you so far

That’s how I used to be.

 

One day a glimpse so different

One distant died for me

My quest to earn and justify

That’s how I used to be.

 

The one I sought to please

My guilt to shed for good

Has done it all – already

His choice, his story told.

 

Now each new day – adventure

Forgiven is my theme

Purchased from my hopeless quest

That’s how I used to be.

 

And now your cross my answer

Your joy the call for me

So different from those distant days

That’s how I used to be.
