the 'Sip
Just when I thought I was over you
You came along and blew me a cool breeze
I began to weaken immediately
There was a tremblin' in my knees.

You said that you were sorry
And then you started to cry
After all those times why didn't I see
That you live a constant lie.

You admitted the wrong you'd done
And you promised it wouldn't happen again
You proclaimed, "What was I thinking?
I must have gone insane."

You held my hands gently
As you looked deeply into my eyes
You assured me that you were willing
To mend our broken ties.

I told myself that you had changed
Perhaps, you wanted to do what's right
You kissed me oh so passionately
And then we turned off the lights.

The cycle had been repeated
I'd been a fool time after time
Taking advantage of my feelings for you
Should've been cited as a crime.

But in due time you will get yours
And I'll be saddened by your misfortune then
I'll think of times when things were good
Reminencse of way back when.

Now, when I think of you sometimes
My tears are now a smile
As I think of how those experiences
All seem worth the while.

Take a good look at me today
A strong, independent woman standing proud
I owe a lot of thanks to you
For you simply helped me out.

Perhaps you thought your actions
Would block me from my dreams
But when I had that irking thought
I found hope in my Healing Stream.

I'll admit, you almost had me
When I found out about ol' girl
But I looked to the hill toward my Help
And He gave me a brand new world.

He told me to trust in Him
In due time my change would come
And I'd be blessed with a very good man
By his fruits I'll know he's the one.

So, if I had the chance to see you
A simple "thank-you" is what I'd say
For bringing me to my lowest point
So, now I can bear witness to a BRIGHTER day.
