Who You Are

Who You Are

REFRAIN
You’ll never know, who you are
‘till you know where you’re coming from.
You’ll never know, who you’ll be
‘till you know where you’re going.
You’ll never know, who God made you to be
‘till you take that leap of faith.
‘Cause nothing is impossible with God,
Nothing is impossible,
No, nothing is impossible with God,
When you believe.

I’ve been there, friend, when I’ve felt so empty
I tried so hard yet failed so badly
Things weren’t going the way I wanted them to
No matter how hard I tried.
Didn’t know what I was supposed to do,
Didn’t know where I was supposed to go,
Only one way left to go, that’s up
Toward the One who made me.

God has a plan, He works it out
“All things work for good to those who love Him”
Even when things in this world are hard,
He’s got a plan for me and for you.
Just trust Him, just believe,
It’s so much easier than you think,
He’ll take your hand, and gently guide your way
Lead you to who you’re meant to be.

You’ll succeed, you won’t fail,
When you’ve got the strength of God’s Word
He’ll make you whole, so complete,
Trust in His love toward you.
Follow His way, not your own,
Take the path of righteousness,
With total trust in God,
He’ll light your way.

Stretching Myself

Stretching myself a little further today ~ always something new, somewhere to go, way to do something, people to meet, new thoughts to think about. Learning something new every day is how I hope to be. Always search for knowledge! It never ends.

Hurting Heart

Not exactly a title for a “Joyful Song”, but if this blog is “Music from my Heart”, then this poem expresses the moment. Good thing I know Jesus for He alone is always my friend – to help me and hold my hand – to make things turn around. Did you ever feel this way?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My heart hurts … (sigh)

Why do friends hurt friends?

Was it on purpose,

or just a mistake

from an action not thought through?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Did I do something wrong?

If I did, it wasn’t intentional.

If my actions caused this

I would apologize …

If I knew what I did.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Could a friend come to me -

talk to me privately

to tell me why -

before dropping me

in front of the world?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How do I make this right?

What can I do?

Hide in pain

and not do anything?

Why bother …

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Confrontation is not me …

What would I say?

Why did you hurt me?

I know not why.

Just make it end.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please don’t steal my words

or I’ll have to write a poem about you.
