No Me Abandonaste

You Never Abandoned Me
Walking alone on the street
in one of those trips where
I found myself trapped in
my own attitudes, without
anyone helping me the
solution I sought to the
problems that slowly
deteriorated my soul
and my conscience
there was no science
or philosophy
that could dry me from the decadence
of the consequences of
choosing the wrong path
due to my bad decisions
my destiny was being cut off
I no longer trusted anyone
although I talked to everyone
many gave me the cold shoulder
I felt like a nobody
at night I couldn't sleep
I used to have nightmares and my skin
craved the strength of pills
the word life was synonymous
with annoyance, many times
I thought suicide was the way out
my heart was stubborn
it hardened like iron
day by day I longed for
my burial to come
You never abandoned me
you always accompanied me
when they turned their backs on me
you whispered in my ear that you still loved me
my hidden problems
with a cold smile
I was a clown
with a fake face
to everyone I was a normal
young man walking
without knowing that to that young man
depression was killing him
but to whom, to whom would I
ask for help
if I didn't trust anyone
my friend was doubt
I only had one left
whom I hadn't looked for in a long time
the one who told me I love you
and yet I didn't pay attention
to the one who touched my conscience
when I was on the wrong path
my hair stood on end
when I felt his presence
the one who didn't look at my appearance
or was there for whims
even though I didn't want
my eyes would cry
You never abandoned me
you always accompanied me
when they turned their backs on me
you whispered in my ear that you still loved me
finally I found the way out
an uncertain future
today I have my eyes open
to be able to see that in life
my soul is no longer lost
in that horrifying past
the mistakes made
now seem funny to me
thanks to you Almighty
for never leaving me
every step I took
you accompanied me
because when I was lost
you never distanced yourself from me
because I was always unfaithful to you
and yet you loved me
did you forgive me so many times?
I don't know how many
from your forgiveness day by day
my soul breaks for you
I really realized
that I am important to you
that for men I would be behind
but you lead me forward
every moment of my life
my heart is pleased
that you loved me without measure
like no one else has loved me
that you healed my wounds
and with mercy you looked
thank you for
never abandoning me
''Lord, truly there are no
words to express what
I feel, I just know that your mercy
which is great to the heavens reached me
and for each day I wake up
I will be grateful to you
thank you Lord for loving me so much
for never abandoning me''
You never abandoned me
you always accompanied me
when they turned their backs on me
you whispered in my ear that you still loved me
