My Gift

I have a God given talent That I've known about for so long I just never thought it good enough But it seems that I was wrong. I've written for years about the tears From all the pain along the way It seemed to vent my feelings But my focus changed one day. One Sunday while getting ready for church God gave me the words and the lines came I sat right down on my couch And wrote a poem praising his name Those words,they came so easy It was as if God was speaking to me But still I didn't realize What the impact on my life would be Needless to say,I missed church that day As the rain came down outside I sat there and wrote two more poems God was changing me inside. I knew that He was there with me Speaking through my pen in hand I had been so long on another path And He was leading me back again. Since that day I have written more Each time that God inspires me I'm not sure if they're right for song But maybe I can help someone to believe That my God who cares so much About everyone and everything Will change their life and make it better While giving it a whole new meaning.
