Listen to poem:

Just Like You

[Verse]
Hello my friend, I know you don't know me
but I have something I'd like to share with you.
Does it feel like the end,
somedays are you lonely
as if no one understands
or cares to.
Do you cry in the night
when the darkness hides your tears?
Do you say you're alright
even though you're broken and full of fear?
I know because I've been there
Oh oh i know that weight you cannot bear
Oh oh oh I know! I know!
And I know the way to get through,
oh oh yes I do!

[chorus]
His name is Jesus! His name is Lord of light
He is the way, he is the truth and the life
And he wants to meet you right now,
no matter if you've fallen so far.
No need to try change yourself
he wants you just as you are
Don't stop to wash the dirt clean,
don't wait until your what they seem,
to think you ought to be.
God sees the real you
that nobody else sees.
He wants someone just exactly like you…and just like me.

[verse]
So now my friend you know you are loved
just for being you
Now it's time to let Him know
if you love him too
Do you know how it feels
to be set free from sin and shame?
DID you know you were made new
just by calling out his name?
Through Jesus you are worthy
Now go and share your story
Oh oh share what you've been through
oh oh oh tell them you know the one,
Oh oh yes you do!

[chorus]
His name is Jesus! His name is Lord of light
He is the way, he is the truth and the life
And he wants to meet you right now,
no matter if you've fallen so far.
No need to try change yourself
he wants you just as you are
Don't stop to wash the dirt clean,
don't wait until your what they seem,
to think you ought to be.
God sees the real you that nobody else sees. He wants someone just exactly like you
and just like me.

These are some powerful lyrics! It's pretty amazing what we can do with AI. Very creative on your part. This encourages me to one day attempt to write something about our Lord and Savior. Something that I could actually put into words and that would be pleasing to Him. So I thank you for the inspiration. God bless you and I hope that one day God gives you the desire of your heart for someone to sing your songs professionally. "}

I HAVE REALLY MISSED READING YOU, so I'm back to read, but can't do AI music and/or lyrics that lack soul. ON THE PLUS side, through AI, I'm sure you have lifted many/turned many towards seeking enlightenment, through AI you witness Christ and spread his light and truth. See, I'm trying here, going for that upside, rationalizing w/o lying to myself. I love your words, can feel them and I thank God for working thru you so beautifully. CayCay

Thanks for your candor! And for the try at positivity! In my defense, I only use the AI app to put the musical instruments and vocal to my song lyrics and melodies. Just as of I were to sell a song to an artist and band to use. It creates demos of what the song could be so more people will listen, see the vision, and hopefully want to sing my songs professionally! The soul of the song lies in the poetic lyrics I think. Thanks again! <3
