Don't

by Ruthie   Apr 22, 2007


Don't be sorry
For whom you are
Don't condemn yourself
For what went wrong

Don't be defined
By your image
Don't be obsessed
By your status

Live in hope
Of the future
Live with the grace
Of your father

Live with dreams
That always reaches higher
Live with a purpose
That will change the world

Never back down
When challenges come
Never ever quit
When life gets tough

Never get tired
Of giving to others
Never be forgetful
Of the reason we're here

Stand on God's Word
And live with his joy
Stand on your feet
And walk in faith

Stand in dignity
But not with pride
Stand in truth
But it's not about you

Look up and see
A kingdom is coming
Look to the future
A generation's stirring

Look past yourself
Forget the spotlight
Look to the lost
Forget your own struggles

Give of yourself
Expect no return
Give control over
Expect him to use you

Give away his love
Be his vessel
Give him the honor
Be his faithful friend

Let go of all hurt
The devil will use it
Let go of all self
The benefit is peace

Let go and be free
You're stuck if you don't
Let go and fall back
You're safe in his arms.
