SONGS : LYRICS : A PLACE WHERE I BELONG

A PLACE WHERE I BELONG

Music and Lyrics by HARRY LEWIS

When trembling I requested the Lord my life to bless,

Right then, in but a whisper, I heard the answer, “Yes!”

And so began a journey and this became the song

That led me to A PLACE WHERE I BELONG.

A place of celebration where arms are open wide

And love without conditions fills me with a pride

To help me face the future courageously and strong

Because I have A PLACE WHERE I BELONG.

I knew there would be trials and there would be a cost

To openly embrace the truth and find the faith I lost.

My will became like iron and like a lightning rod,

When I forgave with all my heart, then I was touched by God!

And now my life is better; my gratitude, immense.

I’ve gained a precious wisdom—at last, it all makes sense.

I see that being diff’rent doesn’t make me wrong

And I deserve A PLACE WHERE I BELONG.

No longer am I searching so empty and alone

For here is where my cup is full, this place I call my home.

It’s here I learned the secret I chose to understand:

That when I say, “I’m what I am,” I reach the Promised Land!

How often I remember my silent first request—

The feeling of surrender the moment I heard, “Yes!”

That’s when I broke my silence with praise and with a song.

And then I found my Soul.

And then I found my Self.

And then I found A PLACE WHERE I BELONG.
