Wondering, pondering, contemplating
The moments when I’ve felt different
Because of my ideas, my dreams, my feelings
The way I think and the way I believe
Struggling to be who I am inside my heart
Instead of someone who is merely playing a part
Thinking of all the ways I might, myself, be
Negative, skeptical or cynical in some way
I look toward the stars in another’s eyes
And see that their stardust is brilliant and alive
Singing songs of freedom and dancing in laughing hues
Of lavender and azure, blushing pinks and tangerines
Thinking of the many times I’ve felt differently
Than someone who is kind and caring and gives unconditionally
From a heart that is filled with inspiration and insight
Still they believe so contrarily… unlike what I believe
And I don’t know how to show them that I can’t accept
Faith that doesn’t rise from the mists of heaven’s breath
Thinking of the joy, the beauty and inspiring words
The million moments of vibrant hopes and rich dreams
Detailing all the ways we change yet still stay the same
The intriguing thoughts that can’t resist revealing the truth
Of a heart who knows that love can cross any line there is
Give from the voice of reason – any flavor of sensitivity
Thinking of the love that lives within the soul who is
Filled with a breath of kindness that comes from the soul
Who listens to the gentle whispers of a heavenly wisdom
Aching to pierce through all the fear and lay aside the pain
Open up the heart to believe that real love is the only way
To give back to a sad, cruel world… a piece of love’s joy
Today, these feelings keep me filled with grace to shine like the sun
Lighting the way for anyone to find a way to say… love is alive
And love abides inside the one who knows that God’s Son answers
When we pray with the faith that He is our salvation, our truth
The way to heaven and the life that God blesses with a eternity spent
Sharing the love that only God can truly spark in the spirit
Love like this is heaven sent and heaven holds His throne!
Praise Him forevermore! The God of Love is always there
Preparing hearts and answering prayers sent from lips of faith
Always be assured that His way is the way of sweet grace
I’m different but I still always know… true wisdom is found
In loving the One who died for my soul – Jesus is my only hope!
I’m different because I believe… true love came down from a cross
At calvary – where He bled and died after being tried
For opening hearts, souls and minds to the knowledge
That He is the Messiah and He lives to give us the opportunity
To turn from our sins and believe.. He is the way, the truth, the life
The One who lingers on the spirit as our hope and our guide
This man who died for me… taught me that love abides in Him
