Scarlett Gray Poem
Did You not place inside me a spirit to fight
A power in my soul to defend what is right
They come against me with all their guns
My flesh may be afraid and want to run
That’s when I reach down deep inside
What is inside of me I cannot hide
The truth You place in my heart
The one thing that sets me apart
From a world of darkness and deceit
Your love, Your light makes me complete
And gives me a purpose to stay strong
Get me past this struggle, this I long
Transform me and bring me through
Help me to keep my eyes fixed on You

Scarlett Gray Poem
A beautiful princess all dressed in white
Stands alone in the still of night
A vision of light in a palace of glass
If she takes a step it all may crash
Down, down so she may never get out
From underneath the horrific drought
Her precious soul she tries to save
But what her eyes see is so very grave
Don't move, don't breathe, it's all at stake
Wait, this palace is not real, but fake
It's an illusion of a life her heart dreamed of
That was never blessed from the One above
So how could this be a palace of truth
No, just a dream born of youth
So she stands very still
This place so cold she feels the chill
In the core of her soul
She longs for someone to hold
The picture looks so perfect so pure
But look closer, look at the core
Full of lies and dark deceit
How will she survive the defeat
It's falling, falling all around
She can't bear the twisted sound
Of the crashing walls as they tumble down
Her pretty smile has turned to frown
She rushes out of the dreadful place
Her hands over her weeping face
How foolish she was in her palace of glass
She falls to her knees and prays this will pass
Then a tiny voice inside her soul says "stand tall
Don't look back, step away from it all"
She obeys the voice and walks towards the light
Her heart knowing she has won the fight
Tears stream down her face
She thanks God for His saving grace
Her glass slipper shatters but she does not bleed
Cover me Lord, this she pleads
He brings her to a place of peace
From her palace she is finally released
She stands now with her broken crown
But she is not sad, she does not frown
She glances over her shoulder at the shattered glass
And realizes this too will pass
She feels the warmth of His brilliant light
And she now knows what is right
She thanks the Lord for all His love
As she looks up she sees a white dove
She says goodbye to the emptiness
Finally her soul can rest

Scarlett Gray Poem
So strong and self assured
He rides alone always wanting more
Never satisfied with what's between those fences
His spirit will wake up your wildest senses
By the cross and thorns that is emblazoned on his arm
His substance runs deeper than his cowboy charm
A tame Christian man with a spirit wild
A man of God, he is your child
His reckless nature will never subside
Yet humble he still has his foolish pride
His heart is bigger than the tallest mountain high
And you feel weak when you look into his eyes
His hands so rough yet so soft to touch
For him no ride is ever too much
He welcomes the mystery that comes in the night
A lover at heart born ready to fight
The complexity of this cowboy man
Every woman dreams with him she would stand
Alone, looking at the midnight moon
In her dreams, she whispers...sometime soon

Scarlett Gray Poem
What is faith in this crazy world of uncertain times
It’s the never ending hope, it’s the quiet chimes
Inside your heart speaking to your soul
When the numbness sets in and all you feel is cold
Coldness inside without a glimpse of a warm ray of light
You are struggling to believe what is right
When you are caught between this world and a world of peace
And from all that is dark and wrong, you long to cease
Because from that world it is a losing fight
Where little by little you lose your sight
For the things that are from a higher place
While you linger in a world of confusion and disgrace
Lord, let me turn my back away from a world so deceiving
Beware of a world that will only leave me grieving
So I call on my faith to take me out of that place
To save my soul with Your beautiful grace
How amazing You are, my heart cries for You
In this chaos and danger, Your love is the only thing that is true
So keep me close in Your presence
So I don’t walk astray
Shine Your light in my spirit
So I can hear Your voice
I need to hear it - For this I pray

Scarlett Gray Poem
Guard my heart from all the worldly pain
Bring peace to my soul
And from sin let me refrain
For I have been so broken for so long
By Your light teach me right from wrong
Help me to walk in Your way without a doubt
Bring me to my knees
And Your name I shout
The journey seems so dark I cannot find the light
To me bring goodness , love, and what is right.
Help me to believe Your word will prevail
When I was once so strong
Now I feel so frail
Bring me back to the place
Where the darkness is no more
Close my past, give me a future of hope
Let my heart soar
Take away the sadness
And bring joy back into my life
The pain is so deep.
It cuts like a knife
Where is the compansion that I'm longing for
Bring me back to the place of peace
that I was before
I know that place
I felt the warmth of Your light
Take my burdens and help me to win this fight

Scarlett Gray Poem
When my mind cannot think and my mouth cannot pray
And my soul is so far gone in the darkest place
When I long for You inside my heart
I am looking for some light where there is not even a spark
No one can know the pain I feel inside
So why do I reach out to the unworthy ones and from You I hide
You know me, You know my soul
I look to every other place when I am afraid and it is You that I cling to and hold
Then I look at myself, I hold the blame
I fool myself, I feel the flame
I take a deep breath and swallow the shame
How amazing You are that You take me back
And You take me away from that off-beaten track
You pick me up from that darkest place
If I could have the strength to only look up and see Your face
Then the power of Your light will shine right through
And I would know that it could only come from You
That saving grace, that blinding light, that gives me strength in the darkest night
I’ll fall for You, don’t let me give away my soul
I’ll fall for You
You are the only one who can make me whole
I’ll fall for You when I have no strength left to stand
If I fall for You then You’ll guide me with Your plan
Lord take away that foolish pride
That selfishness, that guilt inside
From the Heavens bring down the rain
And wash away all of my pain
So why do I look to the world for that light?
When I have known that Your power has brought me through the fight
I have been in Your presence so many times before
From the Heavens bring down the rain - Let it pour
I’ve fallen away from Your perfect plan for me
And now my eyes, they cannot see
So teach me again how to walk Your way
Do not abandon my soul, for this I pray

Scarlett Gray Poem
I have been so down
How can You put me back
I am in a place that looks so black
Where is the light that brings peace to my soul
The tears stream down my face as I long for someone to hold
Send me that one that knows Your name
Brings me compassion and love
Send him to me from up above
Because I only want the purest love for this broken heart
This broken heart that’s been ripped apart
Erase my past, give me a brand new start
I feel so broke and beyond repair
This pain is so deep I cannot bear

Scarlett Gray Poem
There’s no love lost when you weren’t in it to begin with
Protect my soul and heal my heart
Give me the life that You designed for me
You took off those chains and now I am free
It was You who released me from that dark place
And it was only by Your amazing grace
That my eyes were open and I walked toward the light
Leaving behind all the lies, you restored my sight
Twisted in a web of deception, I could not even stand
Until You reached out and gave me your hand
You pulled out all that was wrong
And now my heart, so pure, sings Your song
The tears stream down my face
When will it stop
That quiet voice inside tells me Your love will lift me to the top
It is only my faith that has pulled me through
When I feel so empty and feel so blue
The shadows are fading into the light
Bring me what is good and what is right
Help me to believe in love so pure
Give me the strength that I need to endure
A season in my life that I want to come to an end
I long for a lover, and a friend
Help me to believe that is Your plan for me
Send me a kindred spirit to have and to hold
Someone in Your image so gentle, yet so bold
I believe that day will come when I am singing a happy song
I believe that day is coming - I know it won’t be long
