Don't be like the World



Don't be like the World

Like the world I don't want to be,
a life the devil wants me to live
and tries to tempt me into sin.
 
Like the world I sometimes act,
sarcastic or with malicious attacks
when people start talking smack.
 
Ways of this world is how I grew up,
filled with lies, fights and lust,
and in my heart you'd find deception and selfish love,
until the day came when I had enough.
Jesus was always there and in me he never gave up.
 
I turn to Jesus everyday,
praying teach me your loving ways,
but I find it's a constant struggle
because my mouth or actions get me into trouble.
 
I desire not to be like the world,
so now the Holy Spirit lives in this girl
and everyday I'm trying to learn
how not to be like this awful world.

How can you still love me so?

How can you still love me so? How many times have I asked for your forgiveness, my Lord? for all the lies I've told, hurting you with words I spoke, losing my patience with these precious children that are yours, for arguing with my husband, instead of letting things go, the times I treated him badly, being distant and cold, How can you still love me so? I've criticized and made fun of people for the way they looked, gossiping and spreading rumors, no matter who got hurt, taking my anger out on my family because I was hurt first, I was disrespectful to your people, Man I was the worst, worshiping  idols was what you disliked the most, How can you still love me so? Putting people and things before you was wrong I now know, taking drugs to escape a life to hard to handle on my own, for not taking care of my body which holds my spirit and soul, taking for granted each special day you made to give us hope, How can yo still love me so? I've latc
