My Life's Soundtrack

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
