Alone I sit, alone I cry
No-one visits they just pass by
Busy lives, no thought for me,
I wish they'd call for a cup of
tea
No one to talk to, nowhere to go
Minutes seem like hours time goes
so slow
It's dark in the morning and afternoon
Wintry days, let springtime come
soon
The one day a lady pops in for a
chat
We started to talk about this and
about that
She tells me of a friend of hers
And how he gave his life to share
Good news about eternal life
No longer will I have this strife
He'll come and live inside of me
From all my cares He'll set me free
I listen carefully to what she has
to say
Then she asks if I'd like to pray
The sinners prayer to invite him
in
Then I can start my life again
Free from hurt and all that pain
My life will never be the same
I once was blind but now I see
Because Jesus lives inside of me
