I may not possess the prettiest face

Or look like one to embrace

But I’m here

I may not seem very smart

Or have a willing heart

But I’m here

I may seem shy

Or rarely look one in the eye

But I’m here

I may take too much time

While in my prime

But I’m here

I may lack a smile

That last awhile

But I’m here

God is my guiding light

He fights the good fight

Right or wrong

He keeps me strong

I may be in fear

But I’m here

God’s amazing grace

I’ll embrace

Cause despite every peer

I’m here

I ran into a stranger one day

And he had an awful lot to say

He shared his dreams

As strange as it seems

He held me close

Closer than most

He told me about life

And how to remove strife

He made me see

What was meant to be

It didn’t take long

To discover where I belong

The stranger took me to a place

Filled with God’s grace

We got a second chance

So we did a victor dance

We shared a love

Sent from heaven above

We took a stand

While holding God’s hand

It was very real

And too hard to conceal

We kept going

While knowing

Our journey would last forever

We made it through stormy weather

We were clear

About what we held dear

So I don’t regret

Nor can I forget

Meeting the stranger

Next to me

Is where you should be

The touch of your hand

Tells me where you stand

I can’t resist

Your tender kiss

You brighten every day

In a very special way

Next to me

Is where I want you

Your love carries me through

God planted the seed

And that’s a blessing indeed

I’ll never let it go

It’s only helped me grow

I have no fear

Whenever you’re near

You take me to a better place

Due to God’s amazing grace

There’s nothing I wouldn’t do

For the love of you

So as you can see

I want you next to me

I’ve been through the fire

Down to the wire

As I searched for my name

I hung my head in shame

I’ve faced many storms

While breaking several norms

Some thought I wouldn’t last

Due to a difficult past

But God answered my call

Through it all

I’ve lost my way

During every difficult day

I was insecure

While searching for something pure

I’ve felt fear

Didn’t know that God was near

It took a long time

For me to reach my prime

But God answered my call

Through it all

I’ve been extremely weak

Until I heard God speak

I’ve learned to stand

While holding God’s hand

I’ve fallen and risen again

Cause God taught me to win

He answered my call

Through it all

Count your blessings then tell God thank you.

Time after time

I see new days

As I look at God’s ways

I take the journey

That’s meant for me only

It teaches me in the end

And I see no need to pretend

I gain strength

As I talk with God at length

And life gets better

Cause I love Him to the letter

Time after time

I bask in His grace

As He takes me to a different place

I see His glory

As I begin telling my story

I ignore naysayers

As I say my prayers

For God is my guide

My gratitude I can’t hide

I know what’s meant to be

It’ll bring out the best in me

I’ll lift my voice

And rejoice

While in my prime

Time after time

God shares His love

As sent from heaven above

No matter what we do

He carries us through and through

We gain strength

When talking with Him at length

He’s a wonder to behold

He’s a story untold

He watches us day and night

His grace is a wonderful sight

He picks us up when we fall

He answers every call

In His own way

He brightens every day

One thing for sure

His heart is pure

He speaks the best word

The world has every heard

There’s no need to fear

Whenever He’s near

That’s His purpose

It has reached the surface

It’s very real

Something to reveal

It’s something we won’t miss

Cause it’s the promise

God is releasing your miracle. You’re going to receive everything He promised.

Between the world and me

Lies what’s meant to be

All the lessons

That turn into confessions

The tender loving care

That I intend to share

God’s greatest plan

The beautiful words you can

The hurt and pain

The blessings I gain

Between the world and me

Lies my God given journey

As I praise Him only

There’s my tears

And all my fears

And all the healing

That sends me reeling

There’s the doubt

That God works out

And the purpose

Oh what a sight to see

What lies between the world and me
