In the Light

I'm standing in the light now,

I'm looking up on high.

Before, I was broken and alone.

But I'm spreading my wings to fly now

As I take to the sky.

It's okay, it's alright, bless the Lord.

The breeze is His breath as he guides my way

No meanin' in death as

Thermals raise me over the flame, flame, flame

It's alright, it's okay

There's no flame, flame, flame

Who's to say who's worthy of our Father's love?

And who's to say there's anything to tear us from above?

Now the Lord my God is mercy; it's in His Holy name

And He will keep me safe above the flames

His love douses all the flames

The blessings I've been given

Are more than I can count.

Before the fear had left me feeling cold.

But I know somewhere in Heaven,

There's a place, without a doubt,

That's warm and safe and at last, I'll be at home.

And the breeze in my wings is Him guiding my way

Thermals raise me over the flame, flame, flame

It's alright, it's okay

There's no flame, flame, flame

Who's to say who's worthy of our Father's love?

And who's to say there's anything to tear us from above?

Now the Lord my God is mercy, and the Lord our God is grace

As He holds me in His arms above the flames

Oh, the flames will never burn away my faith

And His awesome love will wash away the pain

And His love will keep me safe above the flames

they/them * i mostly write short drabbles or fanlyrics than full poems. most of my "poems" aren't really in any poetic form, i just write them funny, so that's why i'm not sharing them. what i do have so far is my older work that i thought was worth sharing. * i grew up religious, and have to live with a religious family, so my views are affected by that and i've reconciled both my identity and my religion, but hopefully the weird little song lyrics i posted can help others in the same position come to terms with their own selves. * i have a really long poem in the weirdest rhyme scheme i've ever done but it's a character piece for a video game i like so idk if that's something that can be posted here.
