"STANDING ON THE OUTSIDE"
by Michelle Mickey L © 2003

Standing on the Outside
As so many just enter in
Do you struggle to yield your heart
Afraid of failing once again?

Sometime the process is slow
Even when we want to open our hearts
Don’t be too hard on yourself
As you struggle toward the mark

Yes, decisions must be made
And steps need to be taken
But don’t forget in the journey
The process that you’re making

Man looks on the outside
But God looks at the heart
So take it in stride day by day
Even if you feel you’re falling apart
