 
 
Change Me
I sat upon the hard cold floor
and from my eyes the tears did pour.
I bowed my head and tried to pray
but I couldn't express what I had to say.
I felt like no one cared for me
as I sat there leaning on my knee.
But I didn't give up so I tried again
to ask God to take all this pain.
I know He heard my every plea
but still the pain just stayed with me.
I know He sat right by my side
as I bowed my head and cried.
I still have faith that He loves me
and I know with Him I want to be.
But at that time I did not feel
His gentle touch reach down and heal.
I must admit it didn't feel right
and the pain stayed with me to the night.
I kept on calling, "Please help me,
Please take this pain and set me free."
But God had other plans that day,
He did not rush the pain away.
He had me thinking all day long
about why my life goes so wrong.
I kept on thinking of my life,
and wondering why I face such strife.
I questioned God throughout the day
about the things that come my way.
I told Him, "I don't understand,
I cannot see what you have planned.
Please show me Lord I need to know
If all this pain will ever go".
All day long I prayed and cried,
I wanted to run away and hide.
Confusion seemed to fill my mind,
peace and joy I could not find.
Something held me back that day
but for this to change I must obey.
So I turned to God and said, "Change me"
and suddenly my heart felt free.
I knew He never left my side,
from me my God would never hide.
Beside me He will always stay
if I just follow and obey.
He waited paitently for me
and He opened up my eyes to see....
That no matter what I face each day
He'll never guide me the wrong way.
I still have struggles in my life,
but alone I'll never face the strife.
I trusted Him and He changed me,
He took the pain and set me free.
He'd never turn His back on me,
through good and bad with me He'll be.
I know He loves me O so much
and late that day I felt His touch.
