I wrote this song on one of those days when you look back over the bad times in your life, and wonder how you could’ve gone on so long, so wrong. While this exercise may not make you feel like the brightest bulb in the string, there’s good news! In fact, news doesn’t get any better than this,
God loves you! No matter what you do, no matter what you believe, God is, was, and always will be there for you, and cares for you, more than you could ever imagine.
No you feel and recognize God’s hand moving in your life today and always!
John
‘That Far Gone’
My bags were packed, my heart was broke
Though I really didn’t want to, it was time to go
Away
Now I don’t believe in divorce
But sometimes life’s river takes its own course
Astray
My drinking wasn’t that bad any fool could see
I was only having fun just ask me
I think
With a belly full of beer I was 10 feet tall
Didn’t need no one or nothing, thought I knew it all
Each drink
Make me sure that I was doing alright
Though I had a bunch of them each and every night
I was okay
When you’re that far gone, it’s hard to find
Any comfort at all, any peace of mind
How could it have taken me so long
To ask God for help, return to where I belong
Heaven seemed so very far away
But when I finally asked, I found God right there
Where God had always been and that he still cared
For me
So now I follow where God leads
Walking God’s path and sowing God’s seeds
My story
Needs to be told because God saved me
From my own self when I couldn’t see
Lifted me
Now I fly on eagles wings
As I write these songs and sing
In praise
If it worked for me you should try it too
there’s nothing you and our amazing God can’t do
Just pray
When you’re that far gone, it’s hard to find
Any comfort at all, any peace of mind
How could it have taken me so long
To ask God for help, return to where I belong
Heaven seemed so very far away
But when I finally asked, I found God right there
Where God had always been and that he still cared
For me
