Just Another Girl

She's just another girl who cries real 
tears,
Another girl with absolute fears.
One who longs for comfort and 
peace,
A girl ignored that has constant 
needs.

She's just another girl so very 
ordinary,
Who looks and thinks just like you 
and me,
She goes through life looking for 
love,
Not knowing that there's One that 
willl always be enough.

The girl goes wandering from man 
to man,
Feeling regret over and over again.
Her body longs for that one time 
high,
That one small joint to make her fly.

And as she takes that one time puff,
The police show up and slap her in 
cuffs.
They haul her to the county jail,
The only place that she calls her 
personal hell.

She's alone again in a cold, dark 
place,
Wiping away the salty tears from 
her face.
Opening her eyes looking around 
the room,
She sees nothing in the weary 
gloom.

Trembling on the floor and scared 
of the dark,
A light burst forth similar to gas and 
spark.
In the middle of the room stands a 
man in white,
From all around him comes a 
blinding light.

He speaks with gentleness and a 
voice so clear,
His words are kind and ever sincere.
"Don't fear, my sweet child"
He says with the most beautiful 
smile.

Fatigued from crying, she is out of 
breath,
She begins to think she is faced with 
death.
He grows more stunning as he 
continues to speak,
His words are generous and so 
unique.

"I've come to advise, help, and save 
you,
This is all I ask you to do.
Listen to the words I have to say,
And when I'm done, ask me to stay."

"I've seen you search for a certain 
love,
One not true and always spoke of.
Open your heart and let me in,
Rid your soul of every sin."

"I love you so much that I died on a 
cross,
So that your life wouldn't be a loss.
Look at my hands, look through the 
holes,
I did that just for your soul."

"If you put your trust, your faith in 
me,
A marvelous life I can guarantee.
Free from hurt, free from pain,
You can toss aside the spiritual 
chains."

The girl weeps and falls to her 
knees,
Her soul calm and at ease.
He puts his hand on her head,
As these are the last words he says. 

"Don't ever lose faith or burden 
your heart,
I'll always be with you, we're never 
apart.
Remember who I am and that I love 
you,"
And with those few words, He was 
through.

Once He leaves, the girl gets to her 
feet,
With a feeling inside her so new and 
sweet.
The darkness was brighter, all fear 
was gone,
A peace she wants, her soul is won.
