What I needed



I neededto be fair
So life had a meaning

I needed to be true
So I'd make it through

I needed to forgive
So I could continue  to live

I needed to understand
That God had a plan

I needed to know God was near
Some how I always heard him
Constantly in my ear

He's one I could count on
To always br here.

He's  the reason of my progress
Of losing all that fear.
