Hope From High Above

God
                                         Why God?
                                   I question to myself
                               A presence from long ago
                           You saved me by coming to me
                    I came to know of love despite feeling hate
              You gave me hope from high above when I was low
         I needed you like I needed the sun to shine in my dark days
        You sheltered me with peace as you accompany me everyday
           Those moments when I felt like everyone was an enemy 
               You alone were my best friend that supported me 
                   I was very grateful and felt blessed, O Lord
                       Your words are like pearls of wisdom
                        A prayer to you calms my very soul
                        Building me up to be more like you
                         I praise your name forever more
                          You are truly the truth and life
                         None can love like you, O Lord
                          You lift me up high to the sky
                          Above where there is freedom
                           Above where there is love
                           Was when I found you and
                         When I began finding myself
                  Accepting myself as you have accepted me
        This is why I need you, God. You fulfill me and complete me.
