Life spent searching highs and lows
Through the distance and empty spaces
For that one thing that makes us complete
Some say its love
Love from that one person
That makes our heart beat and skip
Time wasted looking for my prince, my emperor
Who truly deserved me
A beautiful black woman
A woman of virtue and worth
Of great strength,
Whose heritage is rich and flourishing
It was all about me
Myself, my desires, my needs
Extolling self
Misguided by worldly issues
Ignorant in my reasoning and understanding
I trusted in myself and sort for me
So self absorbed, I was repressed and suppressed
By forces around me
Nescient of the immortal being who died for me
Till I found you
Slain for my sins
Risen so that I might be saved
I recognize that a lot can change with you
Cause you’ve got the keys
So I fall on my knees
Thankful for your mercy
My life wasn’t so great
So it took nothing
To humbly embrace yours
I found true love in you
Impressed by your rest and peace
All who came to you found joy everlasting
You brought me light that couldn’t be hidden
Got to know the true meaning of your death
Salvation and sanctification
You taught me that true wealth is not in my heritage
But it’s in having the Holy Spirit within
Learned the way to righteousness by putting my faith in you
Now my life is beautiful
Cause I’ve got you.
