As I Am: Inspired by “Church Girl”
"You haven’t prayed the prayers I prayed
Your tears won’t hold weight to where my head has laid
I do what is asked of me and then some
I don’t turn to the light when the choices left are none
Drinking past my limit, still a church girl
He helps me get out when I’m caught up in it, still a church girl
In the world but not of it, still a church girl
Let me wear what I want, I’m covered, still a church girl
Say what you want & I’ll say what I mean
I’ve prayed over my being no matter who comes between
Anointed and blessed
I have too many plans working for my good to be stressed
Gave it all to God and peace is all I have left
In the darkest times on the darkest days
I felt the weight of the world take me away
I kept sinking and overthinking
It’s never conditional when he knows I need him, unmentionable
You are better than the words they say to you.
You are a light in this world and we need you to shine.
You are not forgotten or denied.
Your blessings are right on time."
