I stand on the edge of despair
Eyes cast down
I gave up sometimes
Fearing I might not make it
But I keep holding on
Each day, I cried!
Deep dark tears
Emptying my soul
I stumbled, falling, grasping
I keep holding on
I stand, beneath
The shadows of sin
And there, I cried!
My face masking
The pain that ripped at my heart
Deep, dark pain
Filling my soul with emptiness
I tried to remember
A scripture I once knew
The Lord is
My Shepard I shall not want
He maketh me!
To lie down in green pastures
He restoreth my soul!
I felt hope
Stirring within me
So I hold on
I knelt
Eyes to the ground
Praying, Seeking,
And there on my knees
He restoreth my soul!
I cling to Him
And with a heart of forgiveness
He set me free
~
I am crying now
But there’s no pain
No sorrows, no doubt
Only tears of Joy
I’m redeemed
Lifted up
I’ve found my savior
I’m free
To rest in his arms
Now I knelt
Eyes lifted towards heaven
And with a shout of victory
I know I’ve been forgiven
I know I’m in is presence
I know I’ve been set free©
