How Things Used To Be Poem by Ms Thang

Sometimes I think about the way things used to be
before the happiness between you and me
my life was riddled with pain and uncertainty
consumed with questions and lonliness constantly
but when i look around at our family
i see all the way God's been blessing me
Thank you, lord, for family
thank you, lord for security
and i want to thank you, lord, for all the things i thought I'd never see.
I look around and see emptiness all around me
As I turn all i see are teary eyes and broken families
So many men and women too
left hopeless and don't even know you
i wanna let 'em know, i wanna make 'em see
That you can do for them all that you've done for me.
Show them that there is hope and you bring joy
to every man and woman girl and boy
I wanna share the light and share my story
Share the love and share your glory
Provide the hope you have to me
Win them for your kingdom - eternally
Lord, I wish that they could see
this ain't how life has to be
you bring serenity
to all of us so patiently
I kown there are those that feel
that your love just isn't real
that somehow they don't deserve your grace
or that your love doesn't apply to their case
Lord i know some people just dont' understand
they're just too scared to take your hand
they don't believe that they
deserve grace unconditionally
Lord help us to rebuild families
show me how to help them please
So much pain and lonliness
instead of peace and happiness
Help me lord to lead them to you.
I'm ready if you'll show me what to do
