When I first came to the Lord,
I had so much to learn;
My heart was overjoyed,
my mind, oh how it yearned.
~
I spoke to God quite often,
and listened with intent;
At all He had to tell me,
my Soul was quite content.
~
My love continued to grow,
as I spent more time with Him;
He saved me from myself,
He saved me from my sins.
~
The more I learned about Him,
the more my faith did grow;
The more in which I learned,
the less I didn't know.
~
Now He walks beside me,
He'll never let me go;
I am shielded by His love,
a love I've never known.

I’ll never be the ‘nice’ girl
Clean and pure like fallen snow,
But I will burn away the hate
And any demons you may know.

I promise that I’ll be here
When the darkness hurts your heart
I will glow, burn, and light the way
Because ‘pretty’ can’t match art.

I’ll burn with the rage of fire
But I won’t be your glowing moon,
I do not love nor give trust freely,
But it’s strongest when I do.

You might only see my shielded heart
And my ever-guarded soul,
But find the crack and then
I’ll be yours- eternal, broken, whole.

I’ll never be the nice girl
Because I’m ‘better’ than just nice-
Because my fire burns the brightest
And I’ll be willing to pay their price.
