Now Playing : "Cat's In The Cradle".
Rather than a poem, this is a song that a sweet and compassionate young woman wrote. Please read the words she sent to me about the inspiration following the lyrics. Please remember this song is copywrited by Kathy.
i could be a casual stranger or someone you know well
but i have a deep dark secret that i don't dare tell.
you see, society condemns my kind as an unforgivable sin
they say you must be less than human, we won't let you in.
and you may think i'm strange and untouchable cause
i'm different from you
but please don't hate me or cast me away,
for Jesus loves me too.
i felt so alone in isolation and denial for many years
for i knew the consequences, i was paralyzed with fear.
people talk to me and i sincerely love my friends
but would they still love and accept me if they knew
the way i am.
and you may think i'm strange and untouchable cause i'm
different from you
but please don't hate me or cast me away,
for Jesus loves me too.
i said "lord, forgive me for i've tried to go the other way"
he said "i came to earth to sacrifice and die that you'd be saved"
i said "why must i live my life all alone with no intimacy"
he said "you will never be alone if you give your life to me"
and you may think i'm strange and untouchable cause
i'm different from you
but please don't hate me or cast me away,
for Jesus loves me too.
how can you say "jesus loves you and we're all saved by grace"
then turn and say "you worthless abomination, you can't be saved"
before you judge me, look at yourself to see what's really there
for there's no righteous, everybody has a cross to bear
and you may think i'm strange and untouchable cause
i'm different from you
but please don't hate me or cast me away,
for Jesus loves me too.
oh, my friend, you are precious to me, and you know me well,
and i have a deep, dark secret that i should dare tell
you see, Jesus loves me though my kind is said to be condemned
but would you still love and accept me
if you knew the way i am?
(By author) I wrote this song for a friend who I suspect
is a survivor, but doesn't say...
she acts like what she feels people want her to act like
says what she feels people want her to say --
"i'm fine. Jesus is wonderful. have faith..."
but it's not HER... i know it's not. inside she's torn apart
