I CRIED TO YOU

I Cried to You 

 

There is a great deal of depression that has 
overtaken my soul of long ago

when I lost my control over

what is right or wrong; 
It was like a sad love song and the rain that 
floods deep within, 

I was too young to understand the ways of sin 
my life was never right in my mother's eyes 
no matter how hard I ever try, 
I was only two when

I started crying out to you. 
you touched my little heart from the start, 

I would get down on my knees asking you 
Please make the hurt stop; 
into every inch that makes me whole

would be you Jehovah that kept my soul, 
of long ago; 

I would cry deep in the night asking why did 
she doesn't love me

why did my father leave 
me even without a word of goodbyes, 
their ware no words?

of what was right in my life, 

all I have known was all that was wrong

with no one in, 
My life that loved me;

I almost died in my teens 
my mother didn't even come to see me. 
But you did that day

you had spoken in my heart 
saying you love me from the start, 

when your mother and father

had left you off long ago 
I had never let you go,

this I put down in my book 
for all to know you are mine

from along with many of my kind,

this world is so blind they cannot see what 
I need them to be,

you my little one you are where 
I need you to be, and let your heart sing.
