[Verse]
Once when I was poor, no pennies to my name,
Whisper of temptation, a spark in the flame,
Fame and fortune called, but I turned away,
Found my strength in Jesus, and learned to pray.
[Verse 2]
Scrolling through life's offers, some dark and some bright,
Saw a path of shadows, didn't feel quite right,
Promises of riches, cloudy dreams unfurled,
But I sought my Savior, not this fleeting world.
[Chorus]
Tempted by the glitter and the bright city lights,
Not for all the money, not for sleepless nights,
I found my peace in prayer, my shelter from the storm,
In the arms of Jesus, where my heart stays warm.
[Verse 3]
Cold nights felt endless, hunger gnawed my soul,
Voices softly echoed, filling in the hole,
Yet I heard a gospel, sweet among the noise,
Turning from false idols, choosing better joys.
[Verse 4]
Friends they tried to sway me, call of easy gains,
Held tight to my scripture, ease the heavy pains,
One step to salvation, path of faith I'll roam,
Followed light of Jesus, found my way back home.
[Chorus]
Tempted by the glitter and the bright city lights,
Not for all the money, not for sleepless nights,
I found my peace in prayer, my shelter from the storm,
In the arms of Jesus, where my heart stays warm.
