Michelle

I am Michelle, standing steady in the flame

Knowing that the fire can't erase His holy name

Every trial turns to poetry and rhyme

A testimony written through the test of time

I am strong, but the strength is not my own

It flows down from the mercy of His throne

I am a child of Yahweh, the Spirit testifies

Romans eight sixteen, the truth that never dies

My children are the beating of my heart

But the Lord has been my soul right from the start

I'm a stranger on this earth, where I'm not meant to be

Please do not hide your commandments from me

I remember thirty-three, the year of grace

When the Holy Spirit met me face to face

He filled my empty hands and made me whole

And breathed eternal life into my soul

Now every step I take is guided by His hand

A pilgrim walking softly through a foreign land

I am a child of Yahweh, the Spirit testifies

Romans eight sixteen, the truth that never dies

My children are the beating of my heart

But the Lord has been my soul right from the start

I'm a stranger on this earth, where I'm not meant to be

Please do not hide your commandments from me

I have walked through the fire, but I am unburned

Through the ashes and the smoke, look at all I have learned

Every poem that I write is an offering of praise

From my spirit to my Maker, to the end of my days

I will lift up my voice, I will stand and proclaim

The power and the glory of Yahweh's great name

I am a child of Yahweh, the Spirit testifies

Romans eight sixteen, the truth that never dies

My children are the beating of my heart

But the Lord has been my soul right from the start

I'm a stranger on this earth, where I'm not meant to be

Please do not hide your commandments from me
