God Loves Me

I was beaten and kicked and torn apart

By those who cared nothing for the pain in my heart

I cried and I asked, “How could this be?”

But still I knew in my heart, God loves me

The intruder, he crashed in my door late one night

Gun in hand he filled me with a lifetime of fright

This didn’t make sense, I just could not see

But still I knew in my heart, God loves me

My love did not love me, my loving in vain

Left alone and empty and hurting again

With a sorrow so great, my heart left to bleed

But still I know deep inside, God loves me

I turned on myself in anger and rage

Took myself in my hands, my life to wage

And even at my lowest point of self-agony

I still knew in my heart, God loves me

Then, the tide seemed to turn; my pain subsided

A new path to try, I felt myself guided

Casting aside my past, now I was free

And still I knew in my heart, God loves me

Then the ultimate gift, you came into my life

You grew from within and I saw the light

The reward for my faithfulness and loyalty

God brought me my child because God loves me!
