I waited locked up tight
Afraid of day and night
Not sure of what I was
Or if I could ever be loved
Then "He" came to my side
Held my hand, whilst I cried
Gently showed me who I was
That I was more than enough
He taught me how to love
Myself and everyone else
He changed me inside out
Made me more devout
My Father God thank you
For everything You do
For all You've given me
And what you help me be
Held my hand, whilst I cried

We must know and love ourselves before we can return the same. This is lovely.
Very lovely.
