I was not born this way

I was not born this way. Slumming on the street with no pay
The bottom has dropped out. No, where to go? Not knowing if I will see you the next day 

Selling my body and anything else I've got to get a dime for some pot

I have nowhere to turn but to God now 
He made me. Maybe He can get me out of this somehow

Well, check back in a few days. I pray he doesn't delay 

If you see a person like me
don't walk on by
Please stop and pray with me before I die

If God knows everything, why does he want to hear from me
He wants to listen to my confessions of Love, don't you see

When God made me, he set me free
To test my love to see where I would be
If I did not Love Him, I would not return
A simple test for what my tender heart yearns

Wiser than me in every way 
I desire to walk with Him every day

Click on me I will solve all of your problems
I will give you all you want with plenty of knowledge

Sounding way too good to be true
Will it work if I do
Being wise from within, I have to be careful who I listen too

God operates on his steadfast principles
The evil one plays on my emotion
Making me invincible 

Whatever I do 
I will think it through

God is so comfortable, as well as he should be
He's the one that created you and me

God fits like a comfortable pair of old blue genes 
Not too tight, not too stiff feels so right it seems

Since He is with me all the time 
I don't want to wear any blisters as I climb

Thank you, God, for being so close to me
Thank you for sending your son Jesus that I will live in eternity

Always keep laughing; it's good for the body and the soul 
It will keep you at Christmas from getting a lump of coal

A happy man is a kind man
Always helping
 everyone he can 

No one can be happy all the time
However, He will continue to climb

Laugh your way to the grave 
Your epitope will say, “I was Crazy Brave.”

I feel comfortable where I am
God has got me out of many a jam

Leaving everything up to me
many things I would not see

I am comfortable today in the skin I wear and the soul I bear

God sent His Son Jesus to save me from sin
I am comfortable with stress and strife because of Him

If you are not comfortable today, whatever position you find yourself in
On bended knee, bow your head and pray please Jesus to come to me

I've stirred  up many things in my life
Some good, some with much strife

My mother stirred love in her food
That's why it tasted so good

What do I mix and stir today
The Love of God along my way

Stirring with others that believe as I do
God will surely bring blessings to you

Life is a journey to eternity
I have had many ups and downs
When this journey comes to an end
There will be many crowns

At times I could not see what was ahead of me
Keeping my eye on Jesus lit my path and set me free

Thank you Jesus for walking close with me
That at the end your heavenly face I will see

Why you chose me I do not understand
Give me the desire to spread Your Love throughout the land

Is there more to the Bible? I must say
then Christ dying, giving His life away

This is pretty serious stuff, I must say
I would not  die for anyone today

What kind of Love would it take to do this
The Love of God that gives a sweet kiss

Is this Love far away in heaven, sitting on a throne
It's in the smile of my loved ones, never being alone

The warm feeling I get when a child is born holding a grandchild on a chilly morn
This warm feeling is called love not being of this world; it is from God above

God left His instructions in the book of truth
It would behoove me to read it for my soul to soothe

Reunions are a time of renewal of old friendships
Old friends from High School even renewing family relationships

I always hated to go
No one looks the same as they did years ago

Constantly feeling self-conscience about my weight or dress
Worried that I would end up feeling depressed

After attending, it made little difference 
Everyone has changed, just like me
Time had taken its toll on everyone that I could see

Friendships are more important than looks or clothes
To my surprise, no one snubbed their nose
