They say my life is wasted; potential unfulfilled.
They say I've choosen badly, the life that I now live.
They say the Gates of Heaven will never welcome me;
That I will live outside God's Love through all eternity.
Deviant and unnatural, psychotic and confused.
People smile with sympathy…they think I've been abused.
"You can get help," they tell me, "we're praying for your cure.
Just put your faith and trust in God and you'll be gay no more".
There seems to be a conflict, a contradictive trend;
A flow of bold hypocrisy that seems to have no end.
The scripture-quoting masses will cry with one accord,
That everything that God has made is good, as is His Word.
So, taking that into account, it should be plain to see,
That God knew what would come about, the day He fashioned me.
From birth I'd been quite 'special', creative to the bone,
Sensitive to Art and Sound, content to be alone.
By time the changes started, with puberty in full bloom,
My relatives and friends all knew that I would seek a groom.
Their enthusiastic efforts to change my natural way,
Have led to the frustrations they feel up to this day.
My life moved on as normal as normal is to me.
I grew to manhood, fell in love, and pledged eternally
To honour, love and cherish, in sickness and in health;
To nurture and support my Love in poverty and wealth.
My love for him grew stronger as time went rolling on.
The ups and downs of "married life" had made us more as one.
For years we'd been together and still I'd watch him sleep
And every day he'd let me know his feelings ran as deep.
So, keeping true to who I am and keeping faith in God,
Has led me through my life and love as promised by His Word.
YES!, God is good and all He's made is, likewise, just as great;
He's always kept an eye on me and listened when I prayed.
They say my life is wastes; potential unfulfilled.
They say I've choosen badly, the life that I now live.
They say the Gates of Heaven will never welcome me;
But they're not God, and God is Love through all eternity.
