Family
She/Her/Hers Lyrics

I look back at my best days
Reflecting on the past, I see moments of joy and happiness.

And thank God for the blessings
I am grateful for the good things in my life and recognize their source.

I think fondly of the friends and the laughs
I remember the people and experiences that brought warmth and joy to my life.

But if I may be honest
I want to be truthful about my struggles and challenges.

I’ve learned most from the heartache
The hardest times have taught me the most important lessons.

Things difficult, stressful and true
The difficult and painful realities of life are unavoidable and necessary for growth and learning.

When I can’t hide the hurting
I acknowledge and express my emotional pain and vulnerability.

Your love I find burning
In these moments of pain, I feel the warmth and care of others around me.

Like a beacon in the darkest of nights
Their love and support guide me through the darkest moments of my life.

We would never think that spit and mud
What may seem dirty, unpleasant, or insignificant can hold value and meaning beyond our expectations.

Would bring seeing eyes and dust to life
Small and unexpected things can bring about transformation and renewal.

As your spirit comes and wakes my sleeping soul
Experiencing a spiritual awakening that brings new life and vigor to my being.

My God, my savior
Acknowledging a higher power and source of salvation.

The Holy Spirit and me...
Recognizing the divine presence within oneself.

My family forever amen
This divine connection brings a sense of belonging and eternal connection.

We may fall on our faces and sprint away from the place that
Even though we may stumble and feel like running away from the place where we find love and support...

Has given us love and support
...we are grateful for the care and affection that we find there.

But thank Jesus my savior, who turned this foul stranger
Acknowledging a personal transformation and redemption, thanks to Jesus' saving grace.

Into a brother, beloved and known
Feeling a deep sense of familial connection with others, even strangers.

I will live out my days singing victorious praise
A commitment to a life of gratitude and celebration of the good things in life.

As I welcome the broken and undone
An embracing of those who have suffered pain and loss and seeking ways to support and help them.

We find repentance in His kindness
Recognizing the value of humility and change, as well as the role of divine guidance and grace in the process.

And patience in denial of the flesh that I fight every day
Acknowledging the challenges of living a virtuous life, and the importance of persistence and endurance in the face of temptation and difficulty.

My God, my savior, the Holy Spirit and me
A reaffirmation of the divine presence in the artist's life.

My family forever amen
The deep and eternal connection to others brought about by this divine presence.
