I'M Different

I'm different.
And, its okay for me,
to be who I am,
to accept Danita Michelle,
with vigor, with verve.
And, to find joy in serving,
WHO I serve.
It sometimes takes a little courage,
and it may take a little nerve.
But, with HIM, I can handle it!
And, those who don't like it,
can swerve.
Because... I'm... Different.
And, I LOVE that Holy Ghost feeling
that I get... when I praise HIM!
I have NO control, over these hands,
...when I raise them!
And, I'm not saying that I'm better!
I'm saying that I'm better, 
for knowing HIM!
And really, I'm NOT trying to preach,
when I'm focused, on showing them.
Ya see,
I can map out my praise,
or I can do it on a whim.
It doesn't matter which,
as long as I praise HIM!
I don't care who might see.
They'll just have to deal,
with the real me!
Because, I'm gonna praise HIM!
Truthfully, the only time that
I feel free, is when I praise HIM!
And, I suppose that's why....
It must be why...
Yeah, I guess that's probably why...
I'm different.
