The Conqueror

The Conqueror



Singing like a songbird.

Expressing the spoken word.

Dancing on tippy toes

Bowing at the end of the shows



With a hurt that can’t be touched.

God is my crutch.

One moment calm.

The next I’m in a raging storm.



Praying myself up

Never knowing when the storm will come

Preparing for my overflowed cup



Of misery and pain

Only Jesus can keep me sane.

Brilliantly mad,

Uncontrollably sad.



In the storm is where I will grow

Pain; this is not your show

I’m surrounded by this pain

I know Jesus will fix me up again.



Calculating equations

Talking a legal persuasion

Just being an average person

The madness fools me like I’m fearsome.



Through all of this Jesus is still in me.

The greatness of him will set me free.

Keep me holding on, 

Because he is the conqueror of my storm.
