OVER THE YEARS

OVER THE YEARS
I have been mistreated
Been black and blue
Cursed and slandered
Abused by the cruel
But I never stopped
I knew what was right
Kept taking the steps
Avoided the fight
It is a rough world
We are all sinners
I ask for forgiveness
Bragging is for beginners
There is work to do
And always has been
It is there on the fringes
Where you will find friends
They need your help
You are accepted
Trust is wonderful
Joy is reflective
My wounds have healed
I do not look back
There would be nothing to see
Of those who gave you no slack
I know the Truth
I believe in the Light
Do my best to follow Him
Keep Him in my sight
He is the Prince
I am the pauper
I can hear His call
Come to My supper
I will be there
At His right hand
On the streets paved with gold
It will be beyond grand
