Some Day My Prince Will Come

Lord, you have taken me down a path that I don't understand

maybe it is my own stupid choices along the way

which have ruined what you meant for good

but either way, Lord I have become chained

in dreams, hurts, and desires

These chains have kept my arms

from being able to raise themselves in praise to you

My choices have brought me far from you

and your will for my life

Lord, I never meant to hurt you or myself

All I ever wanted to do was please you

but now these chains lock me down

I can't see the future

I only see the past and the pain that haunts me now

You are the only one who can free me

but I have to free myself first

I need help Lord

help to be free

help to let go and move on

help to know that one day

My prince will come

He will love me in ways I cannot fathom

He will cherish me

He will make it known,

that I am his and he is mine

I will never have to doubt or worry

That excites me

My heart longs for that day

I know he will not be perfect

I know I will still cry

and I will hurt him

but Lord, there will be a difference

A difference between a disagreement

and insecurity

or emotional roller coasters

I will be able to be confident in his love always

But Lord, I know

before that day can come

there is a lot of work to be done in me

You have to break these chains

help me to forgive totally

and glue my heart together again

from all the last several years have done to break me down

I have to become content in you

and in single life

Most importantly,

I must be walking with you

stronger than ever

loving you above all else

Then, and only then, will I be able to see my prince clearly

My prayer is, as I wait for my prince to come

you release me of these chains,

help me to be content in the life situation you have for me now,

and above all,

draw me to you Lord

Some day my prince will come

until that day Lord,

let Jesus be my prince

and let my heart be joyful and free
