I Am Not A Songwriter

Okay I am a writer, but I am not a songwriter. But Tyka Nelson who is a songwriter (and a good one) has inspired me to write a song todayto praise and honor God. So here it is...

Lord I Know You Understand By Jacqueline S. Foreman
(c) 2009 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

You were there for me
When I needed you most
even though I couldn't see you
I felt you in my heart

My pain was great
my sorrow so deep
I hid it with pills
and thought satan had me beat.
But your love was stronger
because you cherish me
and I don't need a crutch any longer
because you carry me

You are my creator
The King of Kings
My Father, my Maker
The one I praise through everything
I know I have nothing
without your favor
but Lord I've got you with me
in heaven and here on earth
you sent your son to die for me so I could experience re-birth

CHROUS
Lord, you hear me when I pray
you know my thoughts
even when I'm crying so hard, I don know what to say
Lord, you hold me close to you
in the palm of your hand you never let me go
because I know you understand.

Beauty for ashes
now faith is today
I see your greatness
in so many ways
There are times when I think
that you just don't care
when I lose my faith in a moment of dispair
but then I feel
your unwavering love
shining down on me
when I feel like giving up
erasing my doubts
changing my mind
fillling my spirit
with joy and kindness
erasing my fears
sending me a lifeline
drying my tears
telling me you're mine

I may feel like a speck of sand
in the hourglass of time
but to you God, I am so much more
I am a part of your devine plan
You make me feel worthyof living my life
when I feel ugly and dirty
you show me the way
you shine a lightto guide me to better days

Your glory surronds me
like a shield to protect me
from all that will hurt me
for when you are with me
who shall be against me?
Cause man can't curse, what you have already blessed
they can't steal my joyI won't let them
no, no, cause I'm your child
devinely made
I stand before you unafraid
no reason to be afraid
your blessing is upon me
your love is greater
than any love here
your love is forever and that is real

CHROUS
Lord, you hear me when I pray
you know my thoughts even when I'm crying so hard, I don know what to say
Lord, you hold me close to you
in the palm of your hand you never let me go
because I know you understand.

Anger: your love is stronger
Evil: Your Angels protect me
Hatred: I ain't gonna feel it no longer, cause your protection is real
nothing can hurt me as long as I walk with you

CHROUS

Lord, you hear me when I pray
you know my thoughts
even when I'm crying so hard,
I don know what to say
Lord, you hold me close to you
in the palm of your hand you never let me go
because I know you understand.
Lord, you never let me go
because I know...you understand.
