My God

You ask to tell  you
why my god is good
he's good in many ways
he's the reason why I'm 
living, cause i could be gone

he lifts me up whenever 
I'm down, he keeps
Me moving when my
feet feels like it
won't touch the ground 

my god made this earth 
in six days that should
Tell you enough, he made
water into wine, walk
on water what else 
do you want, I'll tell
you about my god,
but i don't think you'll 
understnd, i confessed all
my sins and he forgave 
me for all, my god
my not come when
you want, but he's always
on time

So i tell  you this
is the god i pray to,
so if you really
want to know him
go to him and watch
him guide you

my god will teach
you what no television 
Can teach, my god
is no mystery  he
has the all mighty power,
he's no fairy tale
my god hang on the
cross for our sins
so I'll thank him everyday
For my life, he'll
Never fail you,  you
just have to believe.

Happy For You

Thought it was you
and me, we had
this amazing  chemistry I
had your back thought
you had mines

we weren't perfect but
we were good pretenders 
I believe in you
I had no idea 
you didn't believe in me 

you moved on left 
me stranded, it hurt
like hell to watch
you with someone else
and you pretend that
I was never there 

you ask me why
I wasn't happy for 
you, you didn't deserve 
my aproval 

you ask why I
wasn't happy for you 
I was happy for 
you, I wasn't  happy

At My Worst

Everything that i tried
you throw it in
my face, everything that
i wanted from you,
you wouldn't give  it
to me

Instead of being true 
to me you were to
busy taking ficks with chicks

Trying to cover up
your tracks, she wasn't 
covering up hers... I
pretend nothing was happening 
but the truth was right
in front of me 

tried to accept your extending 
family little pieces of
me was falling apart
i gave it my all,
my all wasnt enough 
for me, i was
never happy just trying
to be happy for you

you couldn't see me
at my worst....

all i ever wanted
was for you to love 
me, crying inside you
would never see it,
cause someone had to
be strong for us, 
but who's going to
be strong for me

I was at my worst.

Beautiful You Are

You're beautiful in everyway
let them talk about 
you, their just insecured
stop staring at me
pointing is not a
good look I'm  beautiful
take a good look

Listen  to them whisper
no one cries alone
you got what they
want, you could never
be alone

Your beautiful  inside and out
wear it proud say
it loud  big or small 
don't  let them fool
you know what your
worth.

Love Myself More

I stood behind you for to
long didn't know where
else to turn feeling 
trap in my own home

Thought loving you was
all I needed, but
no one loved me

Walk in your shadows 
listening  to every word
you say no one
listens to me

It was always you and
me all I saw was you
feeling lost and unwanted

Loved you more than
anything  then I grew
up, she's not here
anymore, feeling secure with
myself no longer scared
I can say I
love you, but I
love myself more.

Common Ground

I have so much 
to offer, so much 
to do, but I 
Stay grounded so I 
can continue doing what 
I do 

life is a gamble 
so they say, take 
risk live a little 
this is a game 
to me so I 
stay focus 

Both feet on the 
ground look forward never 
look back, it may 
catch up to you 
one day 

I thank him everyday 
cause days I feel 
like I don't want 
to be here 

I'm right where I 
need to be, where 
he wants me to be

Taking things for granted 
but I feel like 
I'm the choosen one 
grateful for all things 
to come, here I 
am where I fit 
in and I'm not
going anywhere.

Grace

I never question because I know
that's what he wants from me
I  never question his judgment 
because their are lessons
from him, he given me
choices for me to learn
from it's he who guides me
show me my strength 
whenever I feel weaken 

I never ask him why
he's the only one that
knows my truth, but
if I ask for too much
it means I only need 
What he gives me

I follow his lead because he
is the truth I lived in sin
he can bring me through the light

I have been taught not to
depend on man, but I
depend on him cause
he knows what I been
through and I seen what 
he can do. .. when I thought
I was broken he saw
me through with open arms
in return I could never
turn my back

he given me answers
when I seek the truth
he's the reason for living
I have scars that tells the truth.
