Melissa

I look back at the seasons, the chapters of my life

From a daughter learning how to love, to forty years a wife

Through every joy and trial, through every changing tide

I've tried to keep a gentle heart, with loyalty as my guide

It’s not by my own power that I’ve made it through the years

There is a hand that holds me and wipes away the tears

I am a believer, standing in the light

Jesus loves me, He walks beside me through the day and night

Whenever I am weary, whenever I can't see

I rest in the assurance that God's got me

Soft and caring, wise and calm, my spirit is set free

Because I know, yes I know, God's got me

I look at all my children, the family that we've grown

And now the little grandchildren, the sweetest joy I've known

I want to leave a legacy of a mother who was kind

Who loved them with an open soul and a peaceful state of mind

My name is Melissa, and the story I will tell

Is that my cup is overflowing, and with my soul it's well

I am a believer, standing in the light

Jesus loves me, He walks beside me through the day and night

Whenever I am weary, whenever I can't see

I rest in the assurance that God's got me

Soft and caring, wise and calm, my spirit is set free

Because I know, yes I know, God's got me

Every prayer I whispered, every faithful step I took

Is anchored in the promises of a much greater book

The wisdom that I carry, the loyalty I've shown

Are just reflections of the greatest love I've ever known

I am a believer, standing in the light

Jesus loves me, He walks beside me through the day and night

Whenever I am weary, whenever I can't see

I rest in the assurance that God's got me

Soft and caring, wise and calm, my spirit is set free

Because I know, yes I know, God's got me
