I am a child of my mother
My father is also in me
A derivative of their genes
Is what I always will be
But I’ve made a change to my nature
I am now a new creation
The old man has gone away
And I’m a derivative of God
Everything within me
Shouts to do as he has asked
So now I am walking in His light
In His love I will bask

I posted this poem yesterday and said I would try to get the video done, and I did just that this morning. I pray it blesses you.
The days have gone that used to be
No longer will I wander
I’ve found the way to life and peace
Because I know the Father
He is my source for everything
That matters in this life
All that I say and do down here
Comes from His sacrifice
He sent His Son to die for me
That my sins might be clean
Now I will give my all for Him
There is no in between
I’ll say the words He tells me to
I’ll go where He will lead
I’ll follow Him down every path
I’ll love all that I see
For I’m sold out for Jesus
He is my rock and stay
From now on I will lift my voice
And give Him all my praise
He saved me from a life of sin
He healed me from the plague
There is no turning back for me
I’ll follow Him always
Sulking in a corner
Downstairs in my room
Thoughts of taking my life
All is doom and gloom
I can’t see a future
When I see my past
Why don’t I just end it
This misery will last
Isolated
All alone
The enemy attacks here
Going crazy
Hope is gone
Why am I in such fear
I search my inner being
I find a ray of hope
There’s something deep inside me
That rises like a smoke
It fills my mind with wonder
Then I can sense a joy
The Holy Spirit rises up
His peace I now employ
I won’t get isolated
I won’t go off alone
I won’t look at my past
That robs me of my hope
I’ll look to the future
Where God has plans for me
And in His loving arms
I will always be
Don’t get isolated
Don’t crawl inside your head
Allow the Holy Spirit
To bring joy instead
He is waiting for you
To summon Him today
Rise up from that depression
For God will show the way
I struggle some days to see
The mercy of God for me
I know He is there
I know that He cares
I just don’t know why He loves me
I know He sees all my faults
He sees the worst parts of me
But He quickly forgives
Then He helps me to live
In the mercy He pours out to me
His mercy is always there
His mercy is always there
No matter where I go
His mercy is there
I cannot escape His love
He showers me from above
When I look at myself
His mercy is there
I have to open my eyes
To see all the love He provides
It’s more than enough
To fill up my cup
He has an enormous supply
Now I can plainly see
That His mercy is meant for me
I raise up my hands
I thank God for His plans
He always does the best for me
His mercy is always there
His mercy is always there
No matter where I go
His mercy is there
I cannot escape His love
He showers me from above
When I look at myself
His mercy is there
The Psalmist
