Lyrics
It?s been a long road that I?ve been on
I?ve been a lot of places in my time
No one to tell me what to do
So the blame for all the lonely time is mine
He let me run like a spoiled child
And all I was concerned about was me
I never really knew how to love someone
?Til Jesus came and did it unto me
It?s not that I?ve lived so long
Or I?ve done that much wrong
But the emptiness kept me from being free
?Cause I was a slave of sin
It nearly did me in
Now I?d rather be a fool for Him than the fool I used to be
I wake up in the mornin? now with Him on my mind
And everything has a different point of view
My heart still sings but to a different tune
To share the life He gave to me with you
It?s not that I?ve lived so long
Or I?ve done that much wrong
But the emptiness kept me from being free
?Cause I was a slave of sin
It nearly did me in
Now I?d rather be a fool for Him than the fool I used to be
