To Velvet

I dedicate this post to my dear friend Velvet. Velvet has seen me through some really tough moments in my life. She is by far stronger than anyone should ever have to be. I admire her for that. I hope that some day she'll be able to lean on me when she in need. God has always been her strength and her portion and that's why I'm posting this song. I've been listening to it on repeat since Tuesday.

As I lay me down

Heaven hear me now

I'm lost without a cause

After giving it my all

Winter storms have come

And darkened my sun

After all that I've been through

Who on earth can I turn to?

I look to You

I look to You

After all my strength is gone

In You I can be strong

I look to You

I look to You

And when melodies are gone

In You I hear a song, I look to You

About to lose my breath

There's no more fighting left

Sinking to rise no more

Searching for that open door

And every road that I've taken

Led to my regret

And I don't know if I'm gonna make it

Nothing to do but life my head

I look to You

I look to You

And when all my strength is gone

In You I can be strong

I look to You

I look to You

And when melodies are gone

In You I hear a song, I look to You

My levee's are broken, my walls have come

Tumbling down on me

The rain is falling, defeat is calling

I need You to set me free

Take me far away from the battle

I need You, shine on me

I look to You

I look to You

After all my strength has gone

In You I can be strong

I look to You

I look to You

And when melodies are gone

In You I hear a song, I look to You

I look to You

I look to You

(I took liberties with making you a personal pronoun)

The best is yet to come,
~Adwoa

p.s.- yes Trayonna this is me openly admiring a post-Bobbie Brown Whitney Houston song
