Jesus And The Man In Black

I've been angry
And I’ve been filled with hate
I've had a horrid sense
That Faith would call too late

I've been alone
In the darkest depths of despair
Believing that the whole world
Would rather just not care

I've been laid naked
And exposed to fires of hell
I had a voice say I was worthless
And on that day I fell

I've carried my burdens
Times a hundred on my back
Believing the reason was because
My life was meant to be painted black

But just lately I've been seeing
And feeling things I never have before
There's Jesus telling me
That I am not alone any more

And there's a man dressed in black
Telling me he loves me, and I love him too
Even though I've got what I always wanted
I feel myself smile, knowing there's still more to do
