Believe in yourself
and
You’ll believe in God.

I saw God today
He came in such a mysterious way
No bolts of lighting, no angels swayed
Just God
I saw God today.

I remember when
It was bliss and happiness.
The world was mine
To chose to do
Whatever I choose to do.
No restrictions, no what ifs
Nothing to dim the mix.
Talented, optimistic
That’s what I saw.
I could do it all
Cut thru the impossible
Walk on water
Anything and everything.
Yes, I could do it all.
I smile to see
Those thoughts
That dwelt inside of me.
For life is different now
Than what I did expect.
Not so bad
For I did get
That needed in
Fulfilling my soul
Becoming
What God expects.

Today someone died a long time ago
He changed my life
The course of things that could have been
And my time with him
May not have been so smooth
But I remember him
Yes, I remember him from so long ago.
Adieu, may peace and God be with you
My love, my friend adieu.

I can’t help but feel
The strength and power
That is real
Real inside of me
Waiting
Waiting to fill my destiny.
Bow and scrap
To its mighty weight
You will see an escape
Into life meant to be
The best for all
Especially me.
Thank you God
Thank you Lord
For giving me
Power for all I do adore
I can not help but feel
The strength, the power
In this life
I do not rent.

Sometimes I do believe
There’s a warmth in the trees
Across the road, down the hill
And far away from this today.
Sometimes I do believe
There’s majesty in all we do
Our breath, our beating heart
Skipping like a meadowlark.
Sometimes I do believe
We are one with God
Child, parent, desperate soul
Sometimes I do believe.

My heart is sad and maybe a little mad
Not at the world but my attitude.
Who made me think I could chose
The way to travel thru this universe?
Not alone
Nor will I ever be
Able to master all this
I see before of me.
Be me humble and resolute
I will accomplish this I wish to
With a power greater
Than all of me.
This my heart must accept
For it will race with joy
As I master this
That has been brought
Before of me.
Thank you God
And the Lord above
Without your help
There would be no love.

Merrily we dance about
Never giving thought
To what’s gone and
Done this day to be.
We will not see
Our destiny
Only that which
God lets us see.
Enough it is
No more need be
For we dance about
Merrily.
