I was once a false teacher,
They used to call me the twisted preacher.
I would take God’s word,
And mix it till it blurred.
Then I presented it to the people,
Making them more and more crippled.
You see Gods’ word is a sword,
And feeding those lost souls kept me in control.
I was the literal definition of a liar,
Especially since I was leading them straight into the fire.
I filled their lives with so much deceit,
Right until the ground was pulled from under my feet.
See unbeknownst to me I had a strong foundation,
Because in my youth I used to praise him with so much
passion.
So on that day, I heard a voice,
Which pierced me to the core.
And when I tried to seek the source,
I found out it was the Lord.
You see I thought I was too far gone to be saved,
Especially considering the way I had behaved.
See I knew what I had done was wrong,
But in my mind I thought I was too far gone.
What I didn’t know is that God forgives,
So for him is why I decided to live.
No more moving in the dark,
It was time for me to do my part.
By Grace, I was saved,
And that is the one thing I did not know I had always craved.
I was once a false teacher,
Now they call me the redeemed preacher.
