I face every day

In my own way

I face naysayers

As I say my prayers

I stumble here and there

But I see God everywhere

I face test after test

But never give my faith a rest

I reach my peak

Whenever I hear God speak

I set things in stone

God never leaves me alone

Some try to shame me

But I know what’s meant to be

I listen to God’s word

It’s the best I’ve heard

I see my purpose

Rising to the surface

I found a place

Filled with mercy and grace

I get stronger

As my days get longer

I grapple with fear

Until I see God standing near

Carry my dreams far

Without getting a scar

They fill my soul

With what makes me whole

I give as good as I get

With very little regret

I stand on solid ground

I share the joy I found

I know what’s real

What my heart can’t conceal

I live without shame

I know my name

My beating heart

Is where things always start

I plant seeds

That lead to good deeds

I know what I found

Nothing’s going to turn me around
