Change

To see the man he wants to be
To desire change so desperately
When all seems lost through time & pain
It breaks the heart and bleeds the brain
It feels as though I'll never reach
That place in life they try to teach
They tell you all you need to know
Except the things you need to grow
To be the man you strive to be
To fight that fight so endlessly
Still to the end I will defend
My right to find my peace within
To know I'm all I'm called to be
To help my God to set us free
I know not what tomorrow holds
But hope to be both strong & bold
To hold onto the things I know
The things I've learned, the things He's showed
To find Gods will for my life's end
And give to Him my wounds to mend
Receive the grace He gives to me
So I can be the man I need to be
