I'M OKAY

LYING HERE 

PONDERING IN THE QUIET STILLNESS OF MY ROOM,

MY FOUNTAIN PLAYING A MELODY,

MY SWEET DOG LICKING MY SALTY TEARS AWAY.

I CAN FEEL JESUS SO CLOSE BY MY SIDE,

TELLING ME THAT EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY

AND THAT HE LOVES ME

AND WILL NEVER LEAVE ME LIKE MY EARTHLY FATHER DID

WHEN I WAS SO YOUNG AND NEEDING HIM.

BUT THOSE DAYS ARE OVER,

DUST IN THE WIND,

AND I LOOK AT MY LIFE NOW

AND I FINALLY AT THE AGE OF SIXTY KNOW THAT I AM WHO I AM

BECAUSE GOD MADE ME THIS WAY

AND IF SOMEONE DOESN'T LIKE IT

THAT'S OKAY.

I LOVE THE LORD

AND I DESIRE SO DEEPLY IN MY HEART

FOR OTHERS WHO ARE HURTING TO KNOW THAT AGAPE LOVE.

OPEN YOUR HEART

AND LET JESUS IN.

HE WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE

IN SO MANY UNEXPECTED WAYS

AND GIVE YOU SO MUCH MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER WANT OR NEED.

I KNOW AS A SINNER I DON'T DESERVE THIS LOVE.

BUT I'VE BEEN WASHED IN HIS BLOOD

AND I'M OKAY.
