How I'Ve Made It This Far

As I look in the mirror what do I see
A beautiful face smiling back at me

Her back has been against the wall with
a few options to employ
Enjoyed the pleasures of happiness has in store

Yet mistakes are made
Odd ways make me feel convicted of 
good or bad decisions that day

But, hey who's perfect
However, never let no one kill your purpose

By displaying and guiding through the 
true unbearable imperfects

Lessons taught
When you've been through
it all

Where you've walked the
paths of doing your own thing and just
talk

That's why I pray before I start the day
Lord help me and show me what 
to do or say

I have to make sure nothing 
hinders in any way

Help those who helped you
And bless others in Jesus Name

Even when the devil feels as of his plans are working
But God sees him sliding and lurking

Knowing he has one on deck just for you
While he continues searching

I am certain that someone is used by him daily
Jesus save me for you've died on the Cross
for my sins; loved me anyway when I'm failing

To love and enjoy life came with a price
that you already paid
Yet we forget and become angry about how things 
came to play

Understand the flesh
When fed it grows strong enough to weaken the 
spirit and make you feel worthless

As a gentleman, God looks at me
And what does he see

His daughter bleeding in her soul
and filled with no peace but insanity

Waiting for me to come to the
So caught up in my noisy lifestyle decisions
had made me flee

Now finding my way back home
Is where that smiling face comes from

I've made it and have beat the odds 
Now things has healed and show no pseudo


I'm grateful for the big and
appreciate the small
That's why I'm thankful of 
how I've gotten this far
