BALL

               Screwed up like a ball
               Protected by a covering
               Afraid to share at all
               Wound up by fear of change
               A person can survive
               Sitting on the outside
               Looking at the beauty
               Of what He's doing today.

               What's the use of change
               It only brings you problems
               I'm perfect as I am
               I do my best by Him
               But there is something more
               A loving kind of future
               If only I would trust
               And let dear Jesus in.

               Oh peel away these layers
               These chains that are my jailer
               Let me open out
               Into the flower that I am
               The joy that lives within
               Is buried deep inside me
               Someone notice me
               And help me live again.


               Let me feel the power
               A deluge of the water
               Cleansing deep inside
               Removing all my pain
               Take away the fear
               The thought of being foolish
               Here, have all of me
               I cannot stay the same.
