Redeemed

I've seen so much in twenty six short years

I've prayed before in silence; no words just tears 

Afflictions, addictions, deaths and the blues

Poverty, partying and some promiscuity too

Self-loathing, bitterness, eating disorders and abuse

Abandonment, rejection, unforgiveness and divorce

Confusion, substances, cancer and remorse.

Till one day You called and said there's a choice.

To believe then confess with my mouth and make a joyful noise.

Redeemed am I, a creation brand new!!!

All because Lord, I met You.

Thank You Lord for this gift of life

And thank You Lord for helping me fight!

The enemy is present but to you I run

Because in You I am so I know the battle's already won.

No more shame of my past

Those things the devil threw at me have come to pass 

And now those tests are my testimony, that mess my message

I am bound to You forever in all of Your essence

Your beauty, Your grace and all of Your love

The indelible change You've made in me reminds me

You're always enough.
