A Woman's Worth

Daddy's little girl is all I wanted to be
but he killed that dream when he walked out on mom and me.

Some of you know exactly what I mean.
For others, even if he was there;
it was only physically.

Mom was there and she did the best that she could.
But there was a part of me she never understood.

A void penetrated deep in my heart.
All I wanted was my father's heart.

As good as she did - she couldn't fulfill his part.

Looking for love in all the wrong places;
laying on my back looking at their faces.

Wondering, is this all just a dream -
will you be the one that finally loves me?

No! Why not when I just gave you all of me?!

Cold in my heart I've become.
Playing the game of a heart undone.

Since it ain't you - I'm onto the next one!

Year after year the cycle went on.
Are you still playing the game of a heart undone?

Well let me tell you how that cycle broke.
I went to God and He broke that yoke!

He took me back into my past,
me kicking and screaming God No! I don't wanna go back!

"I know My child but you have to go.
I've given you the victory,
now let Me show you - how to overcome!"

I faced the pain and man did it hurt.
All those years bound in a yoke.

A yoke of all the lies I was fed.
Believing that my Father's love for me was dead!

Wanna be loved lay on your back -
give the man you and he'll give you him back.

Man that was a lie straight from the pit of hell.

Oh God I wanna yell!

All those years I was deceived,
to get me to believe,
my worth was in my body!

"All you needed was My love.
Come here baby left Me give you a hug."

Such a warm loving embrace.
What's this - why have the tears stop streaming down my face?
How can this be?
All the hurt from over 30 years - just like that - up and left me?

Love and joy overflooded my heart.
A smile on my face traveled up from my heart.

Wow God you gave me a fresh start!
Thank You for my new heart!

To steal, kill and destroy was his goal.
But You took the devil out - with just ONE BLOW!

"What the devil meant for bad I've turned around for good.
I'm going to use you to help other women who are just -
misunderstood.

Anointed for such a time as this,
I've gone before you and will show you
how to pull them up - out of the enemy's ditch.

Show them My love and they will see,
just like you did,
their worth is in Me - not in their body."
