I’m not as strong as you are . . .
your words really hurt me
and when you say that
I’m blind and I can’t see—
I’m not as strong as you are . . .
your words really hurt me!
I’m not as strong as you are . . .
your words cut me deep
and when you say that
I’m stupid, I weep—
I’m not as strong as you are . . .
your words cut me deep!
I’m not as strong as you are . . .
your words say hate another
and when you say that
I’m dumb to love
and one who’s different is not
my brother—
I’m not as strong as you are . . .
But there was one I know
who as a babe came to earth for me
lived through trials here below,
gave all He was so I could be . . .
in poverty
showed the riches of love,
In silence
showed power of the One above
in sacrifice
brought supremacy unmatched in time
out of nothing
made the universe in beauty sublime
out of emptiness
filled all that there is so I can see
as God/man
opened the kingdom of God to me
as God/love
died to release life to redeem the Fall
for God
so loved the world . . .
that HE gave Himself and
HE is stronger than all!
About Jeanne
a work in progress . . . with many traumas of varying intensities and life experiences revealing a Power beyond explanation, I am more open and less defined than in years past - raised in a fundamentalist Judeo-Christian home, I spent my young adult years searching for “truth” in many places and “unlearning” much of what I “knew” and that has drawn me to explore many other paths and gain from the journeys of others.
My childhood was spent living in many places in the United States due to my family's music or ministry—The Hicks Family, made up of Olan and Barbara Hicks, my younger brothers, Clint and Chuck and me, sang in different combos (put out an album) - we do so no longer professionally . . . but, until my parents’ passing, a visit to a family gathering in Searcy would bring you to hear some harmonizing and foot-tapping sounds!
Music still speaks to my heart. Photography and graphic design are primary aspects of the path God has me walking - new lessons come often as I observe and ponder the world around me and learn from creation—so exciting!
