I’m no scholar I don’t know many things I’m not so intelligent That I can pass every test I’m not a sage A specialist or doctor I don’t research all the details Or have great thoughts My intellect isn’t rewarded With trophies or honors I’m a simple woman With humble beginnings Modest ideas and unpretentious Dreams… I am meek Unsophisticated and unassuming I’m uncomplicated, plain And totally straightforward But I know.. Beyond the shadow of a doubt Jesus came to bring me A way out of sin and immorality He came to make a way Where no way had ever been He was nailed to a tree Where He hung until death Came to take Him away Into the shadows of its grip In three days, He arose From the grave Reminded us that He brings grace A second chance, a new way All we need to do is pray For forgiveness and our sin Will be pardoned So we can speak with God And He will answer Our heart’s yearnings He will conquer All our fears and tears With His gentle love That colors our whole world In kindness, hope and joy Faith that forever abides On the heart, soul and mind Where our love resides And where His light abides Stirring our feelings to delight In the blessing of a heavenly Father Who loves us with a love That pierces the darkness And lights up the heart With peace that is alive Dancing through the night Freeing our soul with insight Into the wonder of a faith That believes His way of grace Gives the wisdom to praise The One who made a way The One who we say Is the answer to our prayers The reason we have faith The assurance of our salvation Inspiration to always praise The One who is our Savior!
