RESTRUCTURE MY LIFE
I may have lost my way unknowingly
Or in deception of sin wondered presumptuously
Never gossip fellow brethren
my sisters don’t mock
Give a shoulder to lean on if I stumble
Reach out a hand to lift me up if I fall
If you could do not deny me a constant smile
A gesture of assurance, ‘it’s going to be alright’
It dissolves self criticism and hatrate out
Sweeps clean a biased view of my world
And assures someone who cares for my come back
My dear brother over there felt my pain
My sister here beside prayed for me
That little Jane in blue sang for me
And those elderly brethren counseled me
Jesus pardoned and gave grace
It wasn’t a man but a brother I met
Neither was it a girl other than a sister
A community of harmonious beings ever smiling
An atmosphere not born of freedom from pain
They chose to ignore it and counted their roses
And not the number of thorns in their roses
I had wasted all and sold myself to sin
Squandered all that GOD freely gave
And in depravity awaited some terrible retribution
When a gentle touch felt my shoulders
Heavenly light illuminated the dark chambers of my soul
This is why I am here with you
At a church that restructured my life
