20 years It took, You, Lord, I overlooked
20 years I shall give you now, every day I strive to know how!
Birth and baptism followed
I was innocent and timid, an extremist at shyness
I was invisible, humble and flawless
I was child, born, following in my sisters and anybody’s likeness
Like any last born babe, no identity and clueless
Time went by, the chubby girl with the long pretty hair, broke out of her shell too soon
As if trying to be a woman, I had worked hard to prove
Exposure to the wrong things and the wrong people
Exposure to fleshly desires, its worse than peer pressure
Girl met WORLD too soon, I was slowly groomed
WORLD showed me how to do wrong and care less
WORLD seduced my innocence and took advantage of my naivety
Years lost, pain attained, memories that cannot be erased
Thank God my savior came
He took the lust and replaced it with a thirst for His word
He took the fear and replaced it with assurance in His love
He took my sins, erased them, washed me over with His blood
Now I’m brought back from spiritual death like Lazarus
Not 3 or 4 days, but 20 years later
