Just Once


Just once I want to go a single day with them knocking on my faith Just Once Just once I want to serve my God without restrictions From those who's addictions Blind and Block every addition I make to history's renditions of the TRUTH Just Once I want to not have to be normal To wear jeans to a winter formal Have justification for being hormonal Because, you know, I am a girl Just Once I want the world to stop looking at me like I'm a failure Because I don't meet their standards, their measures Because I wear short shorts in cold weather Or wear multi colored clip in hair feathers... Just once I want to be loved because Jesus loves me Not only Just Once, but for Eternity To not be shunned because in Him I found my identity Just Once On this earth.. I want to be me Just Once

<p>Keep going! Don&#39;t be ashamed. What people tell you, is just trials that are put for you. The Devil just wants you to lose your faith, but it&#39;s okay. Remain strong. (: God Bless you.</p>
