Forever Changed


If I could have one job That would change my life What would it be? I could be a doctor A lawyer Or an astronaut maybe? I would love the money The titles But All that is temporary But what I want is simpler you see To be honest I haven’t truly decided But when I think about a certain organization It makes me excited Every staff at YFC are truly impactful They get full of the word of life So they are able to speak life to the suicidal child In middle school Or mentor a teenager who is in juvenile Who craving for second chance at life They listen to that elementary child that Desperately need to be heard With a prayer They help heal the wounds of a broken heart With local resources They help feed families They become the hands and feet of Christ To kids who are searching for a hint of light Or something to brighten up their day They dance, they laugh, and play crazy games With the kids They know how to get hype When the time is right When I look at the faces’ of staffs that have been working There for five, ten, and twenty plus years I can see their smile That radiates with a glory that comes from above I would love to speak life And help guide them to the light And have a smile that shines so bright And hang out with kids Because I will always be a cool like that If I could be a staff at Youth For Christ I won’t only be change but I can also help bring change Not a temporary change But one that last forever
