But, as I tread those valleys so dark,
Peace, My Lord Jesus, upon me will embark,

He’ll comfort & reassure my soul,
While carrying me until once again I feel whole,

I put my trust in my Father Divine,
And place upon Him all these troubles of mine,

Not a day will go by,
To my Lord I won’t cry,

Though my words may be few,
He’ll know exactly what to do,

And when I reach the bright green meadows,
I’ll look back & give thanks for all the woes,

As I will be stronger & more wise,
For God will have opened my eyes,

And glimpses of Heaven, I will see,
While God continues to comfort me,

And not a day will go by that God won’t reveal,
Just how His love for me is genuinely real,

Although I do not deserve His care,
Through Grace I’m saved & He is always there.

Upon me You bestow treasures untold,
Not that of mere diamonds, silver, or gold,

But lasting treasures from Your heart,
Of serenity, tranquility, & love from which I’ll never depart,

You emptied out the darken sin,
Filling me with Your Spirit deep within,

Glowing warmth fills my inner soul,
Making me complete, in You I am now whole,

While You cradle me in Your comforting wings,
Joyful contentment within my heart sings,

As my Good Shepherd You protect with care,
Guarding me from harmful despair,

Through Your strength I am able & strong,
Knowing in You I’ll always belong,

In Your eyes I am worthy of Your love,
Soft & warm like a soft white dove,

Through Your Grace I am set free,
Like an out stretched eagle flying with glee,

Oh, Father God, How I Love You,
Tears fill my eyes like the fresh morning dew !

I allowed Satan to rob me with his lies,
But, now I know the truth through your eyes,

I feared I would never be loved,
But am loved by You, My Father from above,

Disapproval I feared to receive,
Your disappointment I did perceive,

But, You accept me for who I am & will be,
Thank You for Your forgiveness & approval in me,

I feared being embarrassed over foolish things,
Instead of being complete in Jesus my King,

The fear of failure has brought failure to me,
Through Your grace, a failure I will never be,

Fear of confrontations has caused me to hold back,
Even from You, in Whom my faith I did lack,

The fear of being a victim has left me paralyzed,
In Christ I am powerful I now realize,

Fear of him hurting us again,
Has caused me to be scared within,

Now I renounce Satan’s lies,
And ask to find favor in Your eyes,

I put my trust totally & whole heartedly in You,
And turn over these fears to be made anew,

No longer will Satan have power over me,
Because I’m Your child & always will be !

For me, He completed God’s plan,
He’d done no wrong in the sight of God or man,

For me, He took my guilt & shame,
Not me, but Jesus, they did blame,

For me, He was beaten & scarred,
Horrendously & unrecognizably marred,

For me, the burden of my cross He did bear,
Demonstrating how He so lovingly doth care,

For me, He was nailed to the cross at Calvary,
Even though He had the power to set Himself Free,

For me, He who was sinless, became my sin,
Each of my transgressions poured upon Him,

For me, He was separated from His Father above,
All because me, He doth love,

For me, He willingly gave up His life,
To purify me from a world of strife,

For me, three days later He arose victoriously,
Paid for my sins & conquered death gloriously,

For me, now my sins are forgiven,
Though unworthy, one day I’ll live in Heaven,

And Jesus, face to face, I will finally meet,
With tear stained face I shall bow before His feet,

Thanking Jesus for dying on Calvary’s tree,
For me, For me, For me, For even me !

You rescued me from my darkness of night,
And brought me into Your perfect light,

You erased the lies I believed,
And offered me Your truth which relieved,

You expunged my shame & disgrace,
And bestowed upon me Your Holy Grace,

You forgave my sin & iniquities,
And granted me mercy that set me free,

You wiped away my painful tears,
And calmed me taking my tormenting fears,

You cradled me in Your arms so gently,
And sent me peacefulness & serenity,

You changed my perception that I was unlovable,
Enlightening me that I was indeed lovable,

You replaced my feelings of worthlessness,
With a sense of value & worthiness,

On my own, I will surely fail,
But, through Your loving Grace I will always prevail !

Thank You Father for Your accepting love,
As You Cradle me in Your wings, like that of a dove !

Come & lead me in Thy way,
Taking all my cares away,

Hold my hand in Yours so tight,
Let me feel Your power & might,

Gently guide me through the day,
Teaching me Thy loving way,

Comfort me when things get weary,
And, sunny days become so dreary,

Let me see Your light shine through,
With Your love so perfect & true,

Watch over me through the night,
Protecting me from evil plight,

You are my gentle Shepherd,
Cherished & most precious, to be assured !

She didn’t want to face the past,
For the painful memories were vast,

Panic overtook her like a heavy cloud,
Her heart was racing, to breathe she was not aloud,

She turned her pain over to me,
Trusting soon she would be set free,

To God I went in fervent prayer,
For I knew above all others He truly doth care,

I laid the panic, fear & shame,
Before His throne in Jesus’ name,

I asked for His cleansing of her fear,
To wash away the unjust guilt & shame & hold her near,

He dressed her in a gown pure & white,
She danced with Jesus as if on a cloud so light,

Completely lifting her unjust guilt & shame,
Her fear was gone - with no blame,

The Peace of God overwhelmed with gentle power,
Like a rose bud just opening into a beautiful flower,

She felt the burdens lift away,
Her heart & soul calm, tranquil & gay,

Together we thanked the Father above,
For His Mercy, Grace, Peace, & Love !

I don’t want to do this, it’s much too torturous,
My heart can’t bear this thing so horrendous,

My baby, was violated,
His innocence annihilated,

He’ll never again be a naive one,
This is what his father’s filthiness has done,

Dear God I know my son was molested,
Believing him; To protected him, I was invested,

But, the details I’ve tried to circumvent,
I’m afraid I can’t control my temperament,

I have to be strong for my son,
I’m all he has, the only one,

If I fall apart, who will protect my son,
From this evil one who betrayed & won,

If I let my heart know what has taken place,
Revenge I’ll want, though the memories it will not erase,

I get angry, I get hot,
I want to torture his father a lot,

I get sick to my stomach,
My head begins to ache,

When I think of the terrible violation he did suffer,
Feeling alone, wishing someone would be his buffer,

And, at the thought of the pain my son must tackle,
Because of this coward who lives like a jackal,

Let my heart admit what has taken place?
This will be very hard, Lord, I need Your embrace!

I am a Princess through God’s Royalty,
Crowned with His jewels is my reality,

I am more precious than the Lily of the field,
Adorned with loveliness & wrapped in God’s shield,

I am a joint heir with Jesus,
Through Whom I am Holy & Righteous,

I am the light of the world,
For in me is Jesus’ light all shiny & pearled,

I am Jesus’ dear & precious friend,
My heart on Him doth depend,

I was chosen by God, holy & dearly loved,
Chosen to do His work through His leading from above,

My body is a temple of God - His dwelling place,
And a member of Christ’s body upon Him I embrace,

I am a new creation, born of The King,
Made of His workmanship to Him I cling,

Of this world I am a stranger,
For my citizenship is in Heaven without danger,

I have fellow citizenship with The Family of God,
Fellowshipping & serving while walking this sod,

I am a saint through His Righteousness,
An expression of the life of Christ Jesus,

Born under God’s protective royalty,
The devil, my enemy, cannot touch me,

I am one in Spirit with God, One in Christ Jesus,
Therefore resembling Christ when He returns for us,

Thank You, Father God, for these privileges are in You,
Thank You, Father, for loving me so very true !

As my body begins to tremble & shake,
Of this, I don’t know what to make,

My heart beats faster & my lungs feel pressed,
All of a sudden I feel so depressed,

I just want to be left all alone,
Sheltered from the world in my own little home,

I just want to curl up in a ball,
And hide here from it all,

In my own little corner, I’m safe as can be,
No one & nothing can hurt pitiful me,

Exhausted from the panic & fear,
I drift off to sleep to dream something dear.

For He alone knows your deepest fears,
He will wipe away your tears,

He alone can heal your broken heart,
Taking away all the painful part,

He alone can touch you deepest wounded place,
Cleansing it & Healing it through His love & grace,

Cry out to the Father above,
And He will immerse you in His love,

Cradling you in His wings,
Protecting you from evil things,

So, my child, rest in the Father’s care,
Expressing your faith & hope in fervent prayer !

My body is numb & stagnant,
I can’t move even when I want,

It’s even hard to write this, I feel so weak,
I just want to sleep, sleep, sleep,

I have a list of things to do,
Yet I wait until they are past due,

I can’t make myself move,
I just can’t get in the groove,

When I try to make calls on the phone,
There is a force keeping me from each one,

Much like that of a magnet,
When negative & negative have met,

Is it that I have given up,
Or is it sin keeping me in this slump,

Or has my body simply had enough,
This situation is much too rough,

Part of me wants to open the door to my mind,
The other wants to close it, lock it & run & hide,

I hate how my son’s actions make me feel,
When he yells & cusses & tries to control me, it’s unreal,

Yet it takes me back to 13 years ago,
When his father horrendously abused me so,

All I want in my life is tranquil peace,
All I get is turmoil that continues to increase,

My life is like a rollercoaster ride,
Up the steep hill & down the other side,

At a high rate of speed,
With no brakes so I can get freed,

But I continue to drudge along,
Knowing one day God will make me strong !

I was darkened with sin,
Until I let Jesus light in,

He took away my horrible shame,
When I called upon His name,

He cradled me in His arms so tight,
And protected me from further plight,

He touched my broken heart,
Removing the painful memory part,

He clothed me in a robe so white,
Pure, clean & oh so bright,

He danced with me through the night,
He danced with me until the morning light,

He filled me with His light so true,
That my heart overfloweth with love anew,

Thank You, Jesus, for Your love,
So soft & warm as if in the wings of a dove !

Even When I was weary & angry at You,
You lovingly carried me each day through,

You comforted me through Christian brothers & sisters,
All the time you were speaking to me in whispers,

The whispers generally went unheard, far from my ear’s view,
Though I just had to be still & listen to You,

You were making me stronger in Faith & reliance,
Though You continued keeping Your Holy silence,

The flesh was weak & dependent on You,
To make me stronger & wiser & get me through,

All the day long I called on Your Holy Name,
Though words failed me, I prayed just the same,

You were loving, faithful & true,
Though silent, You were present, I just knew,

And now I am wiser, more faithful, & stronger too,
So, Thank You Father for being silent but True,

For when You were silent, Dear Father above,
You drew me closer to You with Your Love !

I hid behind a wall of grief,
From all the lies in my belief,

I felt unclean, dirty & cheap,
And, shame clouded my heart so deep,

You reached deep within my soul,
And, told me once again I would feel whole,

The pain within my heart You wondrously released,
Replacing it with Your magnificent perfect peace,

Taking away my anger & shame too,
Washing me white as snow like You,

You showed me I was valuable in Your eye,
It was for me Jesus stretched out His hands to die,

My wall of grief You broke clean through,
Enabling me to put all my trust in You,

Holding my hand while walking with me,
Assuring me You will always be,

My shackles were broken from around my wrists,
While Your love surrounded me like a white mist,

You released me of my bondage with Your love,
Setting me free like a flying white dove,

I stand before You in a pure white gown,
Face to Face, no need to cast my eyes down,

For on this day of mercy, You cleansed & set me free,
From all that held me captive & kept me from being me.
