Wings
As I laid there looking up at the stars,
I felt sad and all alone.
The sting of old scars
made me realize that you were already gone.
No matter what I said, I was to blame,
yelling at me about my upbringing.
All I have left is your last name,
and a heart that was crushed and bleeding.
As I laid there on the ground,
with my heart all torn to pieces.
I heard a familiar sound,
He said, “ as you let go, the pain decreases.”
I made up my mind,
all determined and true.
I was leaving the past behind,
and moving on to somewhere new.
I got to my feet,
wiped the tears from my eyes,
was more determined not to accept defeat.
I was through listening to the lies.
As all my chains were breaking,
I had gotten my wings.
While you were sitting in the dirt shaking,
I took flight and now my heart sings.
I hear a voice calling out
“come up higher“
With His voice there is no doubt,
Jesus is my only desire.
He is calling to His Bride,
All spotless and white
Get ready to ride,
I AM making everything right!!!
