I don’t feel so special today
In fact I feel quite small
Maybe that’s how you feel too
With your back against a wall
Cornered in by circumstance
So far out of our control
What can we do to break out free
Crawl out of this big dark hole
There is a way, a gift of sorts
Given long ago
That we can step right into
Where liberty will flow
Freedom from the world of guilt
That weighs us down sometimes
Freedom that is born of love
A treasure hidden by Divine
As we seek to find this out
Asking God to show
He’ll take you on a wonderful route
For eyes that want to know
God is good and always is
The devil tries to stomp this out
But light comes out for those that seek
Destiny lets out a shout
You can feel it, I know you can
It’s buried beneath the snow
The cold and dark the world piles on
But truth lies in your soul
Like a caterpillar you must fight
Your way out of the cocoon
Your Father waits to hear your cry
Then empowers you to move
He waits for your invitation
That’s just how Father does roll
He’s not into manipulation
He wants to see you whole
If you don’t know He’s cheering you on
Then you don’t know Him well
Just look at those He’s chosen
They all have a story to tell
Look at Mary, a prostitute,
Delivered from the dark
Became the first to see Him rise
His choice of her was smart
Peter was a fisherman
Impulsive and full of self
But when His life with Jesus was full
He became part of the Book on our shelf
Zacchieus was a cheating man
A taxman that took too much
But Jesus saw his heart that day
And went to his house for lunch
David was a shepherd boy
Sitting in the fields
But God chose him to be a king
His life so honest and real
Gideon was a chicken heart
Afraid of everything
But God gave him the power to lead
To victory his people he did bring
So now lets look at you and me
Why is it failures we see?
Cause that’s what the enemy wants of us
His job is to cause us defeat
The first of his lies is to turn us from God
Make us think He’s who He is not
God will never forsake us
Once we’ve given Him our hearts
Once we have invited Him in
He’s always on our side
Never to leave us, always there
Whether we see Him our not
You were made on purpose by Him
Before you were in the womb
He made you cause He wanted you
And He’s coming back real soon
So fight through all the discouragement
Encourage yourself in the Lord
Watch what your mind is thinking upon
And with help you can turn this around
His Word is so we can know who He is
Read the story of His life
Start with the gospel of John again
And ask Him to open your heart
You are so beloved
And I guess so am I
I battle with this daily
It’s something we all have to fight
So I say, yes God loves you
And yes, He loves me too
Soon this life will be over
No more sorrow no gloom
Keep your head up, looking up
And looking to His ways
You have been chosen to witness this
The very end of Days
It is an honor to be here now
The Book says the last shall be first
He knows what it is we must endure
To be a part of new birth
New heaven, new earth is waiting for us
So we must take our place
Keep our hearts from sinking low
And looking into His face
Keep the faith
I know it’s hard
But yes, we must endure
We know there is a kingdom for us
So beautiful, clean and pure
No more pain or sorrow
No more brokenness of soul
In heaven we will be given a newness
In heaven our hearts will be whole.
Don’t look back and stay in the past
Onward you must go
Choose to look forward and you will see
God chose YOU, and now you know!
