When I came to know you in my youth
I’d hoped that when people looked at me
They could see THIS LITTLE LIGHT
OF MINE
There was an innocence I had
concerning You—
In my little mind I thought we were a
PERFECT COMBINATION
But after I got older I had to come to the realization
That life wasn’t what I envisioned
I was READY FOR LOVE and I needed
A different scenery so I went OUT ON A LIMB
And decided to try LIVING ALL
ALONE
The things I subjected myself to
During those years of venture
Left PIECES OF ME scattered
But somehow You still found a need
To make me whole again because
YOU SAW THE BEST IN ME and that made me
Realize even more that truly
YOU GIVE GOOD LOVE
So God I just hope You truly
know
That I know THERE IS NO WAY I can live without You
I don’t just need You—I LOOK TO
YOU
With You in my life I find that I can really
Live my life OFF THE WALL
When I think of all You knew I would be—
ALL I AM, and all You’ve destined me to be
I SMILE
