A WOLF OF THE NIGHT
MEETS THE GUIDING LIGHT

ONCE I WAS A SINNER
ALONE AND AFRAID
I KNEW ONLY SINFUL PEOPLE
AND WITH THEM I STAYED

WE RAN IN A PACK
LIKE WOLVES IN THE NIGHT
WE DID AS WE PLEASED
AND DIDN'T CARE IF IT WAS RIGHT

WE'D PILE IN A CAR
AND HEAD FOR TOWN
BLASTING OUR STEREOS
FOR MAXIMUM SOUND

WE SPENT ALL OUR MONEY
ON LIQUOR AND BEER
WE LIVED FOR THE MOMENT
WE KNEW NO FEAR

OUR WEEKENDS CONSISTED
OF GETTING DRUNK AND HIGH
WHEN I TALKED TO MY PARENTS
I COULD DO NOTHING BUT LIE

I WAS UP TO MY NECK
WITH BILLS TO PAY
UNTIL I TALKED TO A FRIEND
WHO SHOWED ME THE WAY

THE POLICE FINALLY CAUGHT ME
SELLING DRUGS TO A MAN
SO THEY TOOK ME TO JAIL
WITH CUFFS ON MY HANDS

THEY STRIPPED ME OF MY FREEDOM
MY DIGNITY AND MY PRIDE
THEY UNLOCKED THE CELL
AND THREW ME INSIDE

WHERE WERE MY FRIENDS NOW
THE ONES WHO WELCOMED ME IN
AND TALKED ME INTO DOING
ALL THOSE BAD THINGS AGAIN AND AGAIN

NOW THEY HAD ABANDONED ME
AND I WAS ALONE
I REALIZED I WAS ONLY HUMAN
JUST FLESH BLOOD AND BONE

MY SINFUL PAST HAS LEFT ME HANGING
OVER HELL AT THE END OF A ROPE
THEN JESUS TOOK ME BY THE HAND
HE ALONE GAVE ME HOPE

HE CAME INTO MY LIFE
AND TOOK CONTROL OF MY MIND
JESUS NOW LIVES IN MY HEART
WHERE HE'S ALWAYS EASY TO FIND

HE IS MY MASTER
AND MY GUIDING LIGHT
HE HAS SHOWN ME THE WAY
AND THAT HE'S ALWAYS RIGHT

HIS LOVE IS SO GREAT
AND HIS PROMISE IS TRUE
JESUS HAS SAVED ME FROM HELL
AND HE WANTS TO SAVE YOU
