My dear, dear friend
I try so hard to mend
The hurt that weighs you down
On your face it holds a frown
The pain you have
That caused your tears to fall like rain
Has kept you from seeing what’s really true
You are so incredibly loved
How is that so hard to believe for you?
I know things have happened,
That you can’t really change
But we can’t always control what happens
And we never know when it will be our last day
Look past your surroundings
See what is inside of you
Are there things you are proud of,
Are you sure of what you do?
Change is what you long for
But is it really true,
You won’t change all of you
Because you like the old you?
If only I could show you
If only you could see
All the hope and joy you’d have
If you’d just let God set you free
Your value is significant
But you having been believing lies
If you give up the old you
You can truly be free
Grab a hold of the hope that’s right in front of you
Experience life like new
Realize you’re not alone at all
God will catch you when you fall
And all that you are
All that you’ll be
Will be loved and truly set free.
