My Backbone

He’s my backbone I hope for His love to hold me close He hears me when I cry aloud to Him I won't reject Him and my faith - He casts away my woes And gives me miracles that get me on my toes This feeling of comfort grows... Inside of my heart and it's quenched with His Holy Spirit Something that I shouldn't take for granite How great is thy Word Flying like a joyous songbird Though I can be quite odd He sees that I'm strong and observant, but Oh God! How did you know I loved you so? Am I worthy of Your light? Why have I put my trust in you? Is it because you know The truth behind life? The truth that sets us free From the horrifying night... From the sinister night!! Please set me free and heed to my plea Hear me out in the middle of the night I can't handle the anxiety, beating me constantly I look up to Him when a difficult circumstance Strikes me down with lightning…I’ll find The happy-go-lucky children in the park And I’ll sit there, reminiscences of my childhood spent here Haunts me subconsciously and I have no fear God draws near to me…so I won’t shed a tear Shed a tear… I do deserve to wear a hat of joy Instead of being tossed to and fro like a useless toy We’re as beautiful and stable as Noah’s ark Watch where you’re going in the waters – you might spot a shark Serene shores washes away our past grief, Rinsing us with riveting relief Let’s swing our arms about like the swings, swinging back and forth with the whistling, wafting wind Loneliness doesn’t exist in this land of love and liberation Ravishing feelings sprout ALL OVER MY BODY I no longer feel like a foolish stranger – plump with vanity Please, dear, don’t pity me… Stretch your hands to the unveiling universe Let’s go around and round and round Like an ancient merry-go-round You’re my inconceivable lullaby Putting me to sleep in every verse You’re a gift, not a curse You’re a gift, not a curse You’re a gift, nothing worse Wherever I roam, You’re a miracle, not a bad report You're a miracle, not a ugly wart You got me out of court! You’re a miracle, and I rely on Your support He'll remain my backbone You remind me that I'm not alone I've grown satisfied with you, protecting me like a Father You're like no other...no other Let's gather with each other and gain insight Let's engage in pulling weeds to unveil delight Unveil the glorious light That you absorb inside and out I'm dying to see it one day...no doubt Show me the way to go, Oh Lord So, I can be your sheep on board Forevermore…
