This house is not a home,
And I have nowhere left to go.
You don’t understand the emptiness inside
Nor the pain of being betrayed by your own mother.

I walk alone, or so it seems.
My only friend next to me is my God Above.
My family deserts me and I find no rest
Except in the shadows of my deep anguish.

My father can do nothing for me
To get me out of this situation.
My mother cares not for defending her daughter
Against the onslaughts of contempt from her lover to her child.

The love of my life is far away
And helpless as my father to help me.
The light in my darkness is my faith
In God, alone, and His grace and love.

He will never forsake, and will always forgive,
Those who sin and those who repent.
He is my family, He is my savior.
He is my rock and my foundation.

My God gives me strength when I am weak,
Patience when I am intolerant, Compassion for those hurting.
He guides me with His wisdom and corrects me when I err.
My love for Him is endless, as His is eternal for me.

My struggles seem to grow
As the days draw to a close.
I can feel the darkness pressing in
And pray He holds me near.

I seek refuge in my God because I know
His love is true. I know He won’t leave me
To face my fears alone.
My God is my Father and my guardian.

My Father’s house has many rooms
And all of them are safe.
There is no condemnation is His place
Because He forgives us all.

My God is my Fortress, my shelter when I am weak.
When I stumble and fall, He picks me up.
When my heart grows tired and lonely,
He reminds me that He is near.
