The pain is all too real.
In my heart, I can't deny it.
Still, my soul wants to feel,
The freedom from this struggle.
My heart's in the right place,
For forgiveness to flow out.
Yet somehow I can't face,
Or bring myself to say the words.
Fear holds on with a viscous grip,
I find it taking over.
Pushing; afraid it'll make me slip,
and I'll stay like this forever.
How do I let it go?
What will it take to break the mold?
Who will save me...
From the poison that's eating me alive?
Journey to the depths of my heart,
Find a God at work;
Loving me from the very start,
Freeing my from myself.
