Where are you, my sister?

where are you, my sister?
what happened to your sound?
what happened to your fight?
where did you place your growl?
you once put the enemy on the run
your praise used to be loud
you would trample on that scorpion of a devil
and send him running out of town

where are you, my sister?
what happened to your heart?
what happened to your love for God?
where did you place those sincere parts?
you once gave your all to everything
a life of worship was your mark
but now your arms have grown weak
and your songs have grown dark

I know where you are, my sister
yes, I know, this I do
life happened, that’s what it was
life happened to you.
but guess what, dear one?
God’s words remains true
yes, everything He said
He’s still right about you
you are still His precious daughter
and His plans are still in tact
His heart for you is still the same
and that is still a fact
you are still the object of His affection
you are still positioned in a heavenly seat
you are still a force to be reckoned with
you are still a beloved servant of your King

don’t waste another day
don’t live in shame or regret
you can do nothing with the past
one life, that’s all you get
be who you are
you are not what happened to you
God will get the glory
If you let Him do what He wants to do
