The Big Easy
You were an unexpected miracle,
The restoration of life into a broken soul.
I feared you were too good to be true,
But day by day you continue to unfold.
I didn’t intend to let you steal my heart
I didn’t want you to be my home.
But now your people are my people,
And I’m so proud to be one of your own
Maybe you were the plan all along.
Because when I first set foot on your ground
Something stirred deep within me,
And I knew that this was where I belonged.
