TRANSFORMATION

This is that place where butterflies come,

It's safe, and loving and warm,

I can raise above my problems,

I can rise above the storm.

I wasn't always a butterfly,

I once was a worm you see,

I crawled along the ground,

lost lonely, sad, hurt, ugly  and afraid.

Then I found a safe place,

where I could just BE, to go and hibernate,

just rest, be fed, be free.

To praise my God, read and ponder his word,

maybe even disolve the old....me.

Then one day I looked at me,

and did not recognize myself,

Who was that beautiful creature

with the lovely gossimer wings!

 

 It's ME, It's ME, It's ME I said

how on earth could this be,

I went to sleep, I dreamed beautiful dreams,

and looked what has happened to ME!

Now I can fly, now I can soar,

above the grief, sorrow, and pain,

I am transformed,

I'll never be the same!

I didn't know what was happening at the time,

but, God had plans for me,

better than I could imagine, better than I could see!

So when things look black, and grief has struck,

and you are down on your luck,

don't give up, go some where warm,

where you can keep out of the storm.

Curl up and take a nap, the cacoon is so inviting,

you'll feel better when you do,

and in no time at all,

You will see a new..... YOU!

You will say, it's ME, it's ME

and you will be amazed,

and all the troubles and sorrows,

you thought would never end,

Before long you will know they,

were your greatest friends,

They have all dissolved, where did they go,

life is new, and carefree too,

where did they go, I'll tell you true,

Your loving Savior took them from you!

You are born anew,

with a mighty changed heart, 
and mind and soul.

This new creature you are,

will be exciting to get to know.

The views you have now are amazing,

You can see so clear and so far,

You didn't dream how far you have come,

But here..... YOU are!
