Not Up To Me

MY NAME IS NOT IMPORTANT

IT'S MY HEART THAT REALLY COUNTS

IT'S THE FEELINGS DEEP INSIDE ME

AND THE LOVE I PASS AROUND.

IT'S THE REACHING OUT TO OTHERS

EVEN WHEN THEY DON'T REACH BACK

KNOWING THAT I LOVE THEM

EVEN WHEN THEY CAN'T LOVE BACK.

IT'S THE LETTING GO OF GRUDGES

AND REPAYING IT WITH LOVE

LIFTING UP THE ONES WHO HURT ME

TO MY GOD ABOVE.

LETTING HIM FIX ALL THE JUNK

LISTENING WITHIN MYSELF

KNOWING I AM NOT ALONE.

LISTENING TO THAT QUIET VOICE

WHICH TELLS ME NEVER DOUBT

AND THAT I HAVE A CHOICE

IN HOW MY LIFE TURNS OUT.

I CAN HURT IN ANGER AND DWELL ON THIS

OR SOMEHOW RISE ABOVE

REMEMBERING IT'S NOT UP TO ME

BUT UP TO GOD ABOVE.
