A Mark Upon the Soul

Verse 1:

When I was young, things fell apart, and deep within my burdened heart,

I ached because of a painful hole that left a mark upon my soul.

Verse 2:

Born a human, as we all are, I had fallen nature from the start;

But o’er the years I could feel the pull of One who wanted to heal my soul.

Verse 3:

I knew a couple who really cared. They showed it through their love and prayers.

They really acted a Christlike role that left a mark upon my soul.

Verse 4:

There was a family, they had two girls. Their influence was worth more than pearls.

They walked with God, and their actions told. They left a mark upon my soul.

Bridge:

There were so many others who made a mark, and God has for you a special part,

So don’t you give up; you never know, if you’ve left a mark upon a soul.

Verse 5:

Over time I was seeking God. I saw my need, and knew I was lost.

I didn’t know how to be made whole, but Christ began to heal my soul.

Verse 6:

Going deeper with my Lord, I’ve come to trust Him more and more.

I’m learning how to let Him control, and write His image upon my soul.

Verse 7:

Looking back at my past life, I feel for those afraid of the light,

But by God’s grace, it is now my goal to leave a mark upon their soul.

Verse 8:

Now to you, friend, I say these words: Let’s put eternal interests first,

And say with Peter to a hurting soul, “Arise, Christ Jesus makes you whole.

Arise, Christ Jesus makes you whole.”
