LOST NO LONGER (UPDATED WITH SCRIPTURE)

ABUSED AND CONFUSED AS A LITTLE GIRL.

I NEVER KNEW WHY.  I NEVER KNEW WHEN.

IT JUST HAPPENED, BLOWING IN LIKE A VENGEFUL WIND.

BUT AMONGST THIS ABUSE FROM EVERYONE AROUND ME,

SOMETHING MIRACULOUS HAPPENED.

JESUS FOUND ME.

I WAS ONLY FIVE,

BUT I KNEW WHAT I WAS DOING.

I CAN STILL REMEMBER WHAT THE PREACHER WAS SAYING

AND WHERE I WAS SITTING.

IF I CLOSE MY EYES, I CAN STILL HEAR THE ORGAN PLAYING,

THE ROPE AROUND MY HEART PULLING.

MY HOME LIFE WAS STILL THE SAME,

MY EARTHLY FATHER STILL ANGRY.

MY MOTHER STILL FULL OF UGLY WORDS,

MY SISTER STILL TAKING IT OUT ON ME WHEN MY PARENTS

WEREN'T AROUND, SOMEHOW FEELING UNWORTHY.

BUT WHEN I WAS FIVE,

PRAISE THE LORD I GOT A NEW DADDY

AND A NEW FAMILY.
GRAFTED INTO HIS TREE.

I'M STILL THE APPLE OF HIS EYE,

AND DESPITE WHAT I DO OR SAY,

HE STILL LOVES ME.

HE ALWAYS WILL

BECAUSE HIS LOVE IS UNCONDITIONAL.

MY DADDY IS INCAPABLE OF HURTING ME.

HE MADE ME JUST THE WAY I AM,

AND I WILL NEVER BE ASHAMED

OF SHOUTING FROM THE ROOFTOPS

HOW MUCH I LOVE MY DADDY.

SO, IF YOU ARE FEELING LOST,

PLEASE GIVE JESUS A CHANCE.

HE ALREADY LOVES YOU,

AND THAT WILL NEVER CHANGE.

MY MOTHER HAS ALWAYS TOLD ME

HOW STUPID AND UGLY I AM,

WITH MY SISTER, OF COURSE, CHIMING IN.

BUT MY HEAVENLY DADDY,

WHO KNOWS THE TRUTH,

CALLS ME 

BEAUTIFUL.

PSALM 17:8
KEEP ME AS THE APPLE OF YOUR EYE,
HIDE ME IN THE SHADOW OF YOUR WINGS.

ECCLESIASTES 3:11-13
HE HAS MADE EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL IN ITS TIME.
HE HAS ALSO SET ETERNITY IN THE HUMAN HEART;
YET NO ONE CAN FATHOM 
WHAT GOD HAS DONE
FROM BEGINNING TO END.
