There once was a woman.
There once was a woman who tried. She tried so hard so hard at everything but all she did was fail. She tried to be someone good, someone who was worthy of friendship of love. She tried to be everything that was asked of her tried to do everything right. She tried, not trying to be perfect, but just trying to survive and be someone who could hold her head up high without shame. She failed. She tried to fit in. She tried to be happy and go lucky. She tried to trust...

Tho my eyes are blind to see
Tho my hurt is mounting
Tho my heart rusts with pain
Tho my mind is weary
Tho my soul longs for sleep
I do not weep
Tho my chains tie me up
Tho my burdens are heavy
Tho my problems seem inescapable
I believe through Him I am capable
Tho my failures have been many
Tho my deeds have been wicked
Tho my actions at times unkind
Tho my words spoken hasty
Tho my mistakes have...

Inspiring you are
Amazing grace
Set my soul free
Forever let it be
Just let it be
Prestige and fame
No thanks not for me
Peaceful patience
Waiting
Wait some more
My time to shine shall come
My time to rise shall be eternal
Glory of God set my heart right
Mighty is he who gave his life for me
Forgiveness and acceptance
All of what I have so longed for
Found in him, all things good
...

Lord God, Father of heaven and earth, I come to you still very much a broken heart, with a bleeding soul, and fractured mind, Lord I cannot begin to comprehend you and all your greatness, even thought it is so hard sometimes to understand why somethings happen, I know that your timing is perfect, that your plan is infallible, that you wish for only mercy and love on your children, Lord I ask for continued strength, for peace, for grace and knowledge, Lord I ask that you would help me to connect...

Oh to my child…
Little child of mine
for you I write this rhyme
to tell you that life will be fine
if you just give it some time
not everything is perfect
but if you take a moment to reflect
you will see
how wonderful things can really be
so my son
when all is said and done
I hope you understand
though you might not always see the plan
everything is for a reason
and you are my savior this season...
