Within my doubts and fears,

I search for a guiding light.

Wanting to find the answers for my tears,

I’m pulled in so many directions, losing my sight.

I was raised on truths that held me captive,

afraid to question what has always been

The only way it is has been very deceptive.

But the way to freedom is to begin.

Seeking proof is not blind faith,

but I need evidence for the faith I believe in.

Such proof may never be found,

Which requires me to decide.

The possible answers have no bounds,

Trapped in fear is where I reside.

Fear to break free from rigid teaching

that teaches there is only one way

I desire to know how far God’s love is reaching.

Maybe that love will be found someday.

I seek a God whose love has no conditions.

A God I can put my trust in.

A God who declares there are no abominations.

A God that will bring peace within.
