GOD CAN FILL THE VOID
I looked at my life and what I had become,
The drugs made me painless, my feelings were numb.
I searched for answers I thought no one could give,
Sometimes I felt like I didn’t want to live.
I cried out for help, I thought no one was there.
Lord, how I wished for someone to care.
His voice came down, He said, “I’ve always been around,
But you didn’t call on Me, for I would have heard your longing plea.”
As the tears began to fall, I remember the story of Apostle Paul,
How he went through suffering and pain,
But through it all God’s love did remain.
He will do that for me and you if we trust in Him. His words are true.
Then one day when we meet face to face,
We will walk through the gates to His heavenly place.

BACK TO PRISON MINISTRY
“I’M THE ONE”
You may not know my walk of life, filled with abuse and drugs and strife.
See, I’m the one who walked the street because I felt my life would never be complete.
When other hearts were in despair, I’m the one who truly cared.
I saw the tears in the mixed girl’s eyes, I lay awake at night and heard her cries.
Like her, I remember the Abusive Man that took away the dreams a little girl had planned.
Even though you can’t feel our pain of all the emotions that are hard to explain,
You can reach out and lend a hand and save a child from the Abusive Man.
THE STORM
God is my Comforter through the storm.
He keeps me safe, and He keeps me warm.
He is my map when I’m lost,
His Son Jesus hung for me on the cross.
When I feel I can’t face another day,
He gives me strength and lights the way.
He puts a smile on my face
And wraps me in His warm embrace.
He wipes away my tears when I am sad.
He is my Father I never had.
