I Cried Too Long
By Evangelist Stephanie Webster
I cried too long ovah that man
Now I stand on my own in the land
Creating a masterpiece of
Who I am created to be
Not looking back for something
Called you and me
I believe in myself and thatz a first
To walk alone iz what I thirst
Trick - A - Treat
By Evangelist Stephanie Webster
Trick - a - treat said Mr. Peet
As he come into your room all discreet
Kneeling down at your feet
With his hand up under your sheet
You are afraid and scared at the same time
How do I get away from this maniac’s crime
If you wanna live then you better give
If you even try to cry then you gonna die
This ain't nothing new
You've done it before
Everybody in the neighborhood
Saids you're a whore
Help me somebody so you say
Help me somebody so you pray
No one can hear you
So I'll take it anyway
You tried to fight and you tried to think
But the smell of his breath and body stink
You felt dirty and wanted to die
He whispered in your ear
I love you sweetie pie
Don't you tell no one
Because you know what I would do
I'll just tell them, I didn't rape you
Who’s gonna believe you
You know you wanted me too
Now you walk around incomplete
Because of this rape committed by Mr. Peet
And now they call you trick - a - treat
ATTENTION LADIES:
If anybody has been or still is going through the shame of this abuse, I've been there and by the grace of God I made it out and I am healing remarkably. I extend my hand, heart, and ear unto you if should ever need me.... I am here for and with you because you are not alone!
Ain't No Sunshine In My Home
By Evangelist Stephanie Webster
Ain't no sunshine in my home
No matter what I say
I'm alwayz wrong
Why is it that I have
To change my tone
It'z like being the git wit
Nit wit and pass you a bone
Time will tell what is really wrong
And guess what, I'm tired of hearing
That same old song
Iz there someway we can get along
Admit our faults one to another
And create a new song
In my heart iz where you belong
I love you and adore you
And for that I am not wrong
Let us sing a happy song
Let us show that we can get along
Let us not blame each other
For our wrongz
And let there be sunshine in
Our tone that will illuminate
In our home
Blessedness
By Evangelist Stephanie Webster
Blessedness comes from above
Sometimes all I need is a hug
And not drugs
Oftentimes when I'm all alone
I often think about who I can call
On the phone
People are so busy these dayz
It's just a fleeting thought
That alwayz fades
Come let us reason together you say
Oh how hard it is to do that, with
Someone who don't pray
I cast all my cares and burdens on to You
But what proof do I have
That You care for me too
Life is sometimes hard
While You're up there
But I'm gonna keep pressing
Because of Your word You share
Strength and honor You say
Are my clothing
But where was You
When mister had me posing
You say “trust in me with all your heart”
But what about these insane thoughts
I know You love me
Because I'm breathing this air
But there are just some dayz
I just don't care
I know thatz not fair to You
So how do I get over myself
So I can love on You
Thank you for being my father
Because the one You gave me
I didn't get to know
He died before I got to know him
Which meant he had to go
Now I look for him
In every man that I meet
Only to be in relationships
And to get beat
If I would of been taught
To look for a man as cool as You
Maybe then I would of been able
To follow You, and do what
You tell me to do
I say this from a place of being real
Lord, it'z because of you I no longer have to play
"Lets make a deal"
Blessedness comes from above
Sometimes all I need is a hug and not drugs
Poems For Women Beyond Our Limitations:
Author Unknown
Lord, we need to move beyond
This place that we are in,
To touch Your very heart, O God,
To have Your love within
We need to move beyond the limits
We've placed upon our lives,
To move into more of You,
Revealed through Jesus Christ
Help us to keep pressing on
As, by faith, we take more steps,
To really conquer our inner selves,
To know You with depth
Help us, Lord, to overcome,
To be focused more on You
No matter how hard it getz for us,
We need to press on through
Though Satan rises with hell's fury
With vengeance to devour,
We pray, O God, You'll arise in us
And fight with holy power
For greater are You within us
Than the enemy of our souls,
For You have power and might, O God
And Your spirit is in control
We know the victory shall be ours,
Though for now the heat is on
Help us, Lord, to not give up,
For by this, You make us strong
You will sustain us in Your love
Through what we're going through
And deliver us the other side
Victorious in You!
