I’VE BEEN STRIPPED DOWN
I’VE BEEN MISUSED
BEEN DAMAGED
BROKEN
BELITTLED AND CONFUSED
BEEN LIED TO
BEEN OPPRESSED
I HAVE BEEN BEATEN
BEEN STRESSED
AND THROUGH IT ALL I HAVE GAINED
THE STRENGTH I NEED JUST TO MAINTAIN
HOW CAN I DENY WHERE I HAVE BEEN
I CAN NOT DENY WHAT I’VE SEEN
I WILL NOT DENY WHAT I KNOW
I’LL NEVER DENY WHAT I’VE BEEN TOLD
THIS IS THE BEGINNING FOR ME
A TIME OF RENEWAL
I’M SET FREE
MY TIME TO BE LOVED FAITHFULLY
THE TIME TO BE NURTURED
OH YES
BY ME!!!
