Purpose

Yo…

Dear God, I’m liftin’ up my voice today,

Been through hell and back, still I find a way.

Every day a new fight, same name tag,

Same label, same dirt, they throw it in the bag.

Different faces, same stares, no one knowin’ my truth,

They judge me on my past, not the pain I been through.

But You, God, You see me past the mess,

You never left me stranded, even at my worst, You blessed.

Unconditional love when the world said “nah,”

You saw a queen in the ashes, not just the flaw.

You gave me purpose when I couldn’t see light,

Told me, “Stand tall, girl, you gon’ win this fight.”

But I’m tired, Lord, I ain’t gon’ lie,

These streets cold, and the fake ones spy.

They don’t see the war behind this calm face,

Or the tears I cry alone in a quiet place.

All I’m askin’—just help me see,

The path You planned, the woman I’m meant to be.

Show me how to walk in what You designed,

Turn this pain to power, real purpose defined.

I’m more than a label, more than a case,

I’m a warrior, a survivor, covered in grace.

So hear me now, Lord, this is my plea,

Help me live the purpose You set for me.
