Hymn Lyrics Search - Name That Hymn

The Taylors are from Otway Ohio, I don't think they sing anymore, I sure hope that someone can help me find these lyrics.......

A few words are:
In an old smoke filled pool room I was losing my soul, gambling and drinking.....???
then the chorus: He came where I was in the darkest dispair
he knew how I'd been, but some how he cared..

this is a wonderful song
God Bless

My dad wrote this song. It is a true and accurate account of how he came to know the Lord. I traveled with my parents and siblings until 1998. Dad still writes to this day.
