For the Better

For the Better By, Chelsea Wallace Surely as I sit here My life is all turned ‘round Upside down For the better Still afraid to fear I turn my cheek and close my eyes Inside she cries For the better Someone is near A spirit perhaps, here to guide Take away my pride For the better Ego has no fear It still fights the fight To win it’s plight Not for the better Wine, gin and beer How attractive they become Glamour and chic, vodka and rum Not for the better Look in the mirror Spirit save my life Save my life For the better

Our surrender to God's Holy Spirit happens when we hear the knocking at our heart's door and yield ... an open door is a new world to know. Good write
