Turning Point
I never looked back on my life,
I did not want to see,
The path that I had chosen,
And where it was leading me.
I never looked forward on life,
I did not want to admit,
That I was doing wrong,
And I'd have to stop doing it.
I never looked at myself,
It would have made me numb,
If I were forced to see,
The mess I had become.
But then there came a turning point,
When I let christ into my heart.
I took a good long look at myself,
And made a brand new star.
