My Life Now Has the Savior

“Surely goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life. I will dwell in the house of the Self-Existing and Eternal One for ever.” (Psalms 23:6).

In the maze of my mistakes I dwelt,
My heart a vessel of sorrow deeply felt.
Sinking in solitude’s endless night,
My pain unknown, hidden from sight.
Time swept past, taking anguish in its tide,
Leaving emptiness where joy should reside.

My heart, once vibrant, turned withered and gray,
Love’s sweetness seemed forever away.
Lost in confusion, my soul did roam,
Yearning for warmth, searching for home.
Through barren years of longing deep,
Hope’s tender flame could barely keep.

Then came Jesus, unexpected grace,
His loving call, His warm embrace.
God’s perfect love, like morning light,
Erased the shadows of my night.
From sin’s dark chains, He set me free,
By His side, I’ll forever be.
My restless soul found perfect peace,
In His presence, all longings cease.

No more waiting in shadows dim,
My life now filled with light from Him.
Though storms may gather, trials surround,
In His love I stand on solid ground.
Through passing years, my path is clear:
Following Him, holding Him dear.
My life His own, my soul complete,
In His presence, my joy replete.

This poem is inspired by the words of the Vietnamese spiritual song “Cuộc Đời Tôi Nay Đã Có Cứu Chúa”:

The translation of the lyric into English:
My Life Now Has the Savior

“Surely goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life. I will dwell in the house of the Self-Existing and Eternal One for ever.” (Psalms 23:6).

My life was filled with many mistakes,
A heart burdened with sorrow and pain.
A life sinking deep in loneliness,
With no one knowing.
So much anguish swept away by time.

I thought my heart had withered,
Unable to taste the sweetness of love.
And so my soul wandered in confusion,
With no hope,
As the years longed for love overflowing.

But unexpectedly, Jesus the Savior came,
Calling me back with His love.
The love of God
Has erased all the sorrows of my life.
He saved me from all my sins.
Forever, I will abide by His side,
My soul completely at peace.

My life now has the Savior,
No more longing, no more waiting.
Though hardships may still arise
And surround my life,
Through the years, I will always follow Him.
My life belongs to Him alone,
And my soul is truly satisfied.
