Am I Not?

~ Sowmya Gali

Lost was I not when Thou found me

Exhausted in pursuit of vain glory

Thou opened my eyes and let me see

Thy path that leads me to eternity.

Hungry was I not when Thou fed me

Craved for all the things worldly

Proved the bread of life was Thee

With Thy word was I fed sumptuously.

Parched was I not when Thou quenched me

Drowned in pleasures that were guilty

To the springs of living water Thou led me

For Thy righteousness alone I’ll remain thirsty.

Selfish am I not if I don’t share Thee

Thy gifts of salvation and love which are free

With the hurting world around me

Adding souls to Thy fold remains my priority.

Joyous will I not be when face to face I see

In Thy Holy presence beyond the pearly sea

Casting my crown at Thy feet that are holy

Worshiping Thee eternally for Thou are worthy.
