Love Abundantly

He laughs as I cry
His voice taunts me
His actions hurt me and cut me down
Where is my Lord when I am young?
I know He is with me and I do believe
Why is there so much cruelty?
Why do I feel so unloved?

He belittles me, calling me names
I cry because I am stronger and better
He wasn't looking while I laid praying
My Lord saw all that was happening
Now I am old and ran the good race
His taunting can no longer hurt me
God has given me strength; I can laugh in his face

He is no longer laughing or taunting
I can live in peace
This man that Death called away
No longer lives inside of me
For I have found love abundantly.
