The Enlightenment

A cloud, a veil, a mist, or night;

No matter what, it removes my sight.

My mind is limited, my thoughts unsure.

The noise I hear is far from pure.

I feel my way, oblivious to beauty,

Blindly attempting to realize my duty.

How long must I remain in dark?

Why must I see only in part?

Isn't there some kind of better way?

Why can't the fleeting understanding stay?

How I long for the day when the way is clear,

When I can see all things, both far and near;

When thoughts are bright and easily found;

When I can hear each and every sound.

Oh, how glorious that day will be!

And finally I will be free.

But now in darkness will my life be spent

Until I receive an Enlightenment.

We All Go Through It

Happiness or pain,

Sunshine or rain,

Everyone around you goes through it.

Alone or with friends,

For a while or to the end,

Look around-- we all go through it.

On others you can depend,

For we all understand,

Go lift someone up; you've been through it.

I Understand

My heart aches for you.

I know what you're going through.

I've been through it, too.

Oh, I want to help.

Don't keep it inside yourself.

Let me make it well.

Yes, I understand,

And I'll help you to the end.

Come-- give me your hand.

You'll be fine, I'm sure;

We will push through and endure.

I'll help find a cure.

I'll come help you out.

I know you can do it now.

I will show you how.

Yes, I understand,

And I'll help you to the end.

Come-- give me your hand.

I Am Home

To be sung to the tune of "Let It Go" from Disney's "Frozen"

I was lost and alone, so alone

Nowhere help was to be found

My thoughts and doubts and worries

Were the single, only sound

Confused and scared and hopeless I was then but now

At my Father’s feet I humbly bow

I’ll let Him in, I’ll let Him see

That I’m the girl I was meant to be

I’m changed for good I won’t go back

I won’t go back

I am home, I am home

The gospel is my light

I am home, I am home

I’ll forever choose the right

I don’t care

What the world may say

Let the war rage on

The Lord will prevail, anyway

My life was so confusing

I had no peace at all

And the worries that possessed me

Now seen so much more small

My thoughts and words were not so kind

I sinned and trapped my soul and mind

But now the Lord has set me free

I’m free

I am home, I am home

I am one with the God on High

I am home, I am home

Let the evil pass me by

Here I stand

And here I stay

Let the war rage on

The war between the good and evil battles on

And I have joined that side that long ago in heaven won

Those who tempt me are the ones who had me last

I’m never going back

That choice is in the past

I am home, I am home

My sins are forgiven now

I am home, I am home

The Lord has shown me how

Here I stand

And here I stay

Let the war rage on

The Lord will prevail, anyway.
