It's New Years Eve
"new year, new me"
But what if I don't want to be different?
I just want to stay equally unique
Jesus is the reason I am who I am
And why I want to be
One of a kind,
Unlike all the rest
Put me to the test
And I will try and make it.
Oh God
Why is it so hard to love
The people who don't deserve it?
Like my dad,
I feel like loving him has no purpose
But the hard hard truth of it all
Is that you chose him so I could fall
To my knees
And bring myself to tears
And ask myself where he's been all these years
Just to find out
To my surprise
That the dad I needed
Couldn't be found in these lies
That my Heavenly Father made a way
For my brokenness, just to say
"Beloved, you are worth it"
And after a lot of hurting and little redemption
I know God has his hands of protection
Over my life, my love, and my marriage
And none of Satan's plans can damage this.
This love is different
This love is unique
This love is powerful and not about me
My God is faithful
My God is true
I am what he says I am
I can do what he says I can do
With his stripes I am healed and his blood I'm set free
No more bondage, only victory.
