Words of Resurrection

I have no friends

You said to me

But how can that be true

You talk to others all the time

I know they care for you

 

They’re not my friends

It’s just business

For what could they see in me

Your spirit was dead

Your heart closed down

It was difficult to see

 

A life of pain and loneliness

Had been your cross to bear

Now time was running out -- you said

And you needed someone to care

 

Shhhhh.............

You can’t know others

Until you know yourself

So who are you going to be?

Came the words of resurrection

From the one who would set you free

 

I’ll be good, I’ll be kind

I’ll be a different kind of man

Now that someone loves me

Just the way I am

 

Show me more, teach me

About the beauty you have inside

I promise I’ll never leave you

And we’ll we build a brand new life

 

Shhhhh.............

How do you feel

What do you think

About the life you’ve lived so far?

Are you proud of all you’ve accomplished

Of who and what you are?

 

Why are you angry?

Why are you sad?

What happened to you way back when?

You must go back and remember

Just when the hurt began

 

I was never loved and never supported

In the ways I needed to be

I never saw kindness and affection

In ways I could perceive

I felt ostracized and different

And never did fit in

I took it out on others

And built a wall within

 

I’ve lived a lie for more than twenty years

I can’t do it anymore

My marriage is a sham

Full of meanness and hurt

And coldness to deep to unbend

I realize I’ve wasted my life

And want it all to end

 

 

Shhhhh.............

Everything is different now

That you’ve stepped into the light

Opened up your eyes and mind

And emptied out your heart

You can create the life you want

And be who ever you want to be

And I will stand beside you

Because of the love you’ve shown to me

 

I know who I am and what I want

For the first time in my life

I’ve been searching all these years

For the love I’ve found with you

And the life we’ll have together

That will be real, and honest and true

 

You can trust me now -

Because I’ve changed

And become a brand new man

I’ll love, honor and protect you

As we live the life we’ve planned

As long as you believe in me

There’s nothing we can’t transcend
