I used to believe I had the power

To control whatever, no matter the hour;

So strong in my mind the power would flow

Surrounding my feelings deep in my soul.

Time and again I told myself, “I have the power and control;”

So many years have slipped away,

Leaving me powerless and here to say

I surrender myself with the words that I speak

For I used to be strong, though now I am weak.

I as the Lord everyday to help me through and guide the way;

To follow the path and light the day;

For now I realize how powerless I’ve been,

The shame and regret will stay ‘til the end.

So many times I stumbled and fell;

Often I sat to think for a spell;

Wonder how it came to this, for being straight I truly miss;

Only as a child I remember that feeling;

I bow my head and accept the healing.
