Saved From Myself
A small, frightened child
crying, running, searching
for the arms to
hold and protect me
This is how I see myself ...
but You Lord see me differently
... You see me
as this ....
A powerful, brave woman
standing strong through all the trials
coming out the victor endlessly
in my battles, tho' I cry
Looking up to You only
for my strength and courage
this is my only means
truly of survival
Your love and teachings are
my salvation and I need them so
Thank you for Your confidence in me
even when I had none myself
You have known me
from my first moment of existence
You chose me from my mother's womb
to live my life for You
though my paths were crooked
You always brought me through
I thank you Lord,
with great praises and honor
to You alone I give
for You have saved me from myself
