Needing a Jump

No matter how hard this woman tried her pain she couldn't hide For it had never left her side as everything else around her died And no matter what she would do or new path that she would try Nothing to her had ever felt true and her whole life seemed a lie She never wanted for anything always an answer for every need I guess you might say she knew bling but not the Apostle's Creed And over so many long years, nothing, nor would she ever change All those bottled up tears, to open that up just wasn't in her range But then came that show with Mother Angelica a dear blessed soul Telling her what she didn't know that she wasn't her to play a role Of the special purpose He had just for her so to share in His Glory As something inside began to stir so intently listening to her story That was then and this being now, for if you had known this girl Jen You could only say wow she's certainly not the girl I knew back then For today she wears a smile on her face and has such joy in her heart Maybe you too need just such a special Grace for your own life to start ETWN's Mother Angelica has taught me so much by touching my heart. One of God's loving servants who is so wise in His Spirit. YouTube her. "Excuses" is a good one!
