"I Have Pain Too"

So you like to see me in pain--
That sounds pleasing to your ears.
You like to read my pain--
I see that's what you want to hear.

Well, I have pain too--
So much that it aches.
I have pain too--
So much it makes me break.

I have pain too--
And it stretches very long.
I have pain too--
But I try to stay strong.

I have pain too--
So, I guess I'll have to wait.
I have pain too--
That keeps me up real late.

I have pain too--
That leaves me up in knots.
I have pain too--
But I guess it something you forgot.

I have pain too--
And I know it very well.
I have pain too--
So much as you can tell.

But I'd rather tell you--
That it will be okay.
I'd much rather tell you--
To take it day by day.

"She Is Clothed in Strength and Dignity"

She is clothed in strength and dignity--

And walks with delicate grace.

She is clothed in strength and dignity--

With a modest face.

She is clothed in strength and dignity--

And speaks in a beautiful tone.

She is clothed in strength and dignity--

Standing strong and fully grown.

She is clothed in strength and dignity--

And speaks with charm and heirs.

She is clothed in strength and dignity--

With beautiful, long hair.

She is clothed in strength and dignity--

And she has a heart full of love.

She is clothed in strength and dignity--

The kind of strength from up above.

"Praying for Hope"

Stress so high--
That it's hard to cope.
Praying to God--
That I see some hope.

Stress so high--
That it brings me down.
But I look for hope--
When I turn around.

Stress so high--
And it continues to build.
Looking for hope--
To keep me fulfilled.

Stress so high--
And it's no wonder.
I sleep best at night--
When it rains and thunder.

Stress so high--
But I'm trying to cope.
Praying to God--
That He shows me hope.
