Being Gay


Gay is joy
Gay is beautiful
Gay is happy or rich
Not God-given.
Who lives from beginning to normal,
with a strange mind, with a healthy heart?
Doesn't matter if he's gay, or 'queer'
A brilliant movie star who looks cool,
drinking whisky or beer.
Time to relax and let go of your gay fear
Not every gay wants someone who is 'straight'
Even when your body is so near
Rejected, mostly thought of as damaged,
an imperfection.
Not God's way of living
Living a lie, living a life of
who to trust.
Lost love, needing love
more than ever before.
Standing tall, hiding insecurity
of feeling mighty small.
Losing life's everyday affections
Sweetened devil's voices of being gay
"Queer, different," I hear them say.
Oh Lord, heal those who are gay
And help them understand the others' way.
God almighty has a heart who heals those
Who stray.
