A Gift Such As Her
Without her-there's no
tellin' where I'd be
I'd be tossed by waves &
forever lost at sea
Self-destructive & barely
clinging to life
My spirits turned ugly
full of envy & strife
Not knowing direction or the
purpose of my course
The highway to hell- my
throttle full force
That light within me-gone-
with my heart turned black
From all the betrayal & scars
across my back
I'd still be looking for love-
slowly loosing hope
From the drugs to depression
there's no one to help me cope
No reason to care, my life
had become a blur
Then God showed Amazing Grace
with a gift such as her
Now she's tied to my soul &
runs thicker than any blood
Washing me clean, like the Lord
did with the flood
Healing all wounds of my past
enabling me to rise above
We strengthen each other & soar
like the wings of a dove
Proving that love is power, covering
a multitude of sin
So where I thought I was broken. I
was really able to bend
No doubt you saved me- Kyrie
this I know for sure
Bringing beauty back to life & feeling
God's Grace- for me- once more
