My Family Tree
written by, Candice Landis 01/06/2013
My family tree has grown much larger recently
For now it includes my church family
All of who are very important to me
All of who Jesus brought to me when he heard my plea
My world is now a much brighter place
As every sunday I look at each smiling face
Knowing we're all gathered here for the same reason
To worship our Lord and shine his light as a great beacon
From Uncle Bobs Great Big Smile To Mary Anns quiet grace
To Mr B's much appreciated comments and Praise
To Dan and Debs Enthusiastic Embraces
To Everyones morning handshakes and Smiling Faces
I've learned so much here about the Lord and his love for me
I've learned a lot about the kind of person i'd like to be
No more hiding at home buried in insecurity and fear
When the chains that bound me were broken Jesus led me Here
So many things in my life have changed
I'm no longer buried in regret and shame
I've repented and forgiven the sorrows of my past
I've given my heart to Jesus at last
I thank you all from the from the depths of my soul
Your acceptance and kindness means more than you'll ever know
My emotions and my love for my lord I am not afraid to show
I spread his word whenever I can everywhere I go
Others have noticed the changes in me
Some are happy and some just refuse to believe
I say a prayer for them all becuase we are all God's Family
I will be an example for them and have faith that they too will one day see
