Trading Satan's Lies For God's Truth

Gazing up at the night sky

She wishes upon a star

But she knows that wishes don’t come true for her

Her dreams have been shattered way to many times

That her heart is broken into pieces

She hangs out with the wrong crowd

Cause she feels like that’s where she belongs

Even though her friends make fun of her and

Tell her she’s worthless

She laughs it off but deep inside she cries it out

She wants to be somebody but she feels like nobody

She hides her face because she feels disgraced and worthless

She runs to a place where nobody knows

She sees her reflection staring back at her in someone else

Staring at the scars that are marked on her arm

Remembering the pain that bled

Wounds of her past open up

She fights the hurt and pain

That holds her back

She’s blindly running in the other direction

And falling quickly downhill in life

Slowly her faith starts to fade into the dark night

She dances into the traps of her friends but

She doesn’t know that she’s dancing fast downhill

They pull her into the night, taking every risk in the light

She runs to a place where nobody knows

Falling on her knees she covers her face

As the tears run down like the rain

She cries out

“God if you are listening

Make my shattered dreams come true,

Mend this broken heart of mine,

Help me to find a way to you

For I need you desperately

I’ve been running way to long without you

That I am falling apart into shattered pieces

Take me as I am and mend me back whole again,

I need you, Oh Lord

It was at that moment she saw a light

It was at that moment where the pieces all around her

Were being taken away

It was at that moment where tears like rain had stopped

And the sun had blazed through

At that moment a hand like no other so gentle, fragile and

So perfect told her “Grab my hand and follow me my dear sweet child”

After that her story and her journey taken over by God, her life tells a different story

Of hope!
