A praise song

A praise song

Oh what a friend I have in Jesus,
He shelters and protects my soul,
Oh what a friend I have in Jesus,
There is no where else to go.

I lift him up, reach out my hands,
Praise on my heart and my feet steadfast on his word,

Clap to the heaven’s, clap to my lord,
Raise up my voice, so every soul
Can hear the glory, the Lord has blessed me,
With a man and my boy,

Praise to Jesus, praise to God,
The Holy Spirit, hands to you now,
Thankful, I’m to the ground,

You are near me, everyday,
Taking on the pleasure, and my pain,
You see it all, my dear Lord,
Blessed is my spirit, refreshed is my soul,

Come Holy Spirit, come Trinity,
Come fill me with your life,
My spirit free,
Fill my home, fill my life,
Shine your spirit inside out.

Holy Spirit, fill me now,
You are mighty and divine,
You are strong when I am weak,
Blessed is my spirit, you’ve set me free.

My hand will brush your coat, ohh Lord,

And I will give you thanks,
For the glory of this place,
Heaven will be my home someday,
To remain with you, forever more.

By my father’s side, blessing be my bride,

And I’ve seen your power and your grace,

Glory for the grace,
While you’re working at your pace,
You plant a smile upon my face,

The Generational Blessing

I am not my mum
But my mum was me,
I can’t be in my mother’s shoes,
But she has the greatest empathy for me.

As a woman in her thirties,
Having a preteen daughter,
I can now see what my mum sees in me,

For I was her,
That girl in the same shoes,
Mskin choices and didn’t know what to choose,

Doubting myself and my ways,
For days and days,
Those memories don’t fade,

To see my girl,
Where I was in time,
For the choice’s she makes,
That are not mine,

For the path she chooses is no less or more,
It’s just another path this girl hasn’t yet explored.

Back to my mother,
Her empathy in uproar,
As she feels my pain,
As I lay with my boy,

She knows what I need,
She’s been here before,
She was the thirty year old girl,
Exploring the world.
