Hope

I am not a victim
I am not lost
I am just hurting sailing through a storm.

I am weak not dead
I am angry not forgetful
I am bitter not regretful

No matter what I go through
I am not alone
Jesus loves me and calls me his own.

Battered and torn
Discouraged and broken
Tested and tried my saviour is alive.

Confused and despair
Fearful and tearful
Divided and tormented Jesus is able.

Betrayed and defeated
Restless and mocked
Jesus embraces and takes me home.
