Broken and Risen

When you are struck to the ground by struggles bolt When the pain of lies, betrayal, and secrets unfold Gazing upon the cliff of life's mountain Holding in the pain with all that your might can, Hold out your hands and touch the sky Watch as the clouds pass you by Let the wind carry your pain away Do not think of what stands in your way Just close your eyes and forget the past It’s just a moment that already last Then think of the future and what it holds Because it’s the only story that's never been told Reach out for God and he will help you For he has done for me the same way too Then open your eyes and do not lose hope For the prizes are given at the end of the rope
