Swallowed by Darkness

Pushed away by religious hypocrites
I questioned the existence of the One who loved me
As I fell away
I began embracing the left hand path

To live for myself
Seemed very promising
Darkness
Became my god

The very thought of Christ
Brought me anger and hate
My misconceptions of the Lord
Blinded me

What I didn't know
Was the love of Christ
Christ is love
Not hate

Denying myself
Was the way out of my pain
Following Christ
Became a joy

Out of the darkness I came
And gave it all to Christ
