Gradually Changed
my life has changed so drastically, my views have been altered and changed,
my thoughts of physical affection and love, god has ultimately rearranged,
it took years for me to understand, making bad choices along the way,
it took tragedy to smack me clear in the face, turn towards god and walk away,
my friends all think it's stupid to reverse, to save myself for only one man,
i certainly can't be a virgin again, but i know this is god's plan,
i've searched my heart, and so has god to help view what i could not see,
that my heart is more precious to me than sex or a kiss, he traced me back to
where i should be,
he showed me what was missing, it was him all along,
my relationship with him grows bigger each day, he's the one who makes me
strong,
there are things i can't yet get rid of, and things that still aren't quite right,
but i will press into him every single day, and never give up the fight,
this all has been a slow process, but through him i will succeed,
i want to place everything into his hands, and let him take the lead,
if i could just completely trust and not worry, it would prove he's in total control,
but not everything in life is easy to give up, and we always struggle to fully let go,
there is one thing that i've noticed, while i've spent all this time with him,
that he works slowly on one problem at a time, and he gradually removes my sin.
