I don’t need a man!

-Sitting here alone at night

-In a tiny apartment,

-I find myself talking to God and

-Telling Him I don’t need a man;

-I can do life on my own!

-I’m an independent woman,

-Who doesn’t need a man.

-I was raised to be strong

-And can do it on my own.

-God said, “Just wait—I’ve got someone

-Just for you. Wait til you meet the person I have for you.”

-He told me all about you.

-It sounded all amazing —

-But I wondered how could a person like you love a person like me?

-We come from two different tracks;

-How could two people like us fall in love?

-Then, you were there, just like He said—

-And you loved me from the start.

-How could it be possible for a

Man like you to love a woman like me?

-How can I let a man like you into my heart

-Because I’m a strong woman who doesn’t need a man!

-I can do life on my own!

-A man like you has the patience of Job

To love a woman like me.

-I gave you a thousand reasons not to stay.

-I was bound and determined to be an

Independent woman;

-But your love softened my heart.

-You said, “I want your heart.”

-I said, “Break my walls baby.

-Take the hammer and break the walls of my heart.”

-You took the hammer —

-And shattered the walls of this independent woman who didn’t need a man.

-Then, you were there and said,

“I love you forever,”

-And wrapped me in your love so deep.

-I don’t need any other man.

-I need you. The one God promised.

-I’m no longer alone.

-I no longer have to live life on my own!

-You’re always with me just as God promised.
