In the beginning, I had no obedience,
To change, there was much struggle and persistence.
At first, I didn’t want to accept your will,
I chose my paths to walk, I satisfied my will.
I thought that this way, my life would be a pure thrill.
Your way seemed so narrow to go through it,
I felt that my lifestyle would never fit into it.
My way is to be free and without obligation,
I never set my heart in a serious direction.
Submission seemed like a humiliation.
I didn’t understand how so many people followed You,
People who, every day, sought You.
For them, there was no barrier,
If necessary, they would pray all night, like a warrior.
In my mind, all this was nonsense, they seemed inferior.
Obey someone I don’t even see?
Believe in the words that a book is promising to me?
Looking at it through my logic, it seemed useless,
I could not believe that it was all true, it was causeless.
I could never get used to this kind of reality; it was proofless.
At the highest point of my disbelief,
The wonder of his truth, the Lord showed me,
His great love, the Almighty God, showed me,
It was love at first sight, I understood that He saved me.
For a long time, God had already been on my path,
He had never let me walk alone; He was always there.
No matter how far from Him, I might be,
The Lord saved me from evil, He was with me.
One day, I finally understood this great love,
I decided on a definitive change in my behavior.
From that moment on, I would walk with God,
I would never again stray from the way of the Lord.
