I did not write this. One of my students did (originally posted here). She is great. I am proud and grateful to know her.
Time passes,
people change,
and feelings never stay the same.
Life goes on,
friendships die,
and there isn’t always someone to hold you when you cry.
In this life,
there are few,
that will love,
you for you.
Broken hearts,
can’t be fixed,
so stop trying,
all the tricks.
This is life,
dark and dull,
without a Savior,
to light your soul.
He won’t take,
away the pain,
but He will teach,
how a joyful life you may attain.
People hate,
friends lie,
but this is no justification,
for wanting to die.
If you can’t tell,
when love is true,
look to God above,
He is showing you.
His arms are outstretched,
to show you something new,
to give you something,
that alone you cannot do.
He wants to give you joy,
He wants to give you peace,
He wants to give you love,
in the midst of everything.
He cannot lie,
He cannot die,
and He can change,
you and I.
Dark will turn to light,
broken hearts will be renewed,
and the things we used to know,
will no longer be true.
He will teach you how to separate,
fact from fiction,
love from addiction.
He will help you stay strong,
through all the pain,
and through every rain.
This world isn’t perfect,
we shouldn’t even try,
because no matter what we did,
it would still be one big lie.
But now that I have Jesus,
I see a whole new light,
I am no longer blind,
I have a new set of eyes.
I’m smiling through the pain,
I’m dancing in the rain,
this is the life,
He has helped me to attain.
I choose not to lie,
I cannot die,
and now I want to share with you,
the love and joy i can call mine.
I am His follower,
He is my light,
and I’m going to show everyone,
just how bright I can shine!
