Refined Soul
Forged in the fires of tribulation.
Struggling through Hell's retaliation.
Hope is strained beyond belief.
All I seek is solace and relief.
Betrayal is the lonely cry of the outcast.
I strained so hard for the pain not to last.
I embrace my tortured, crying soul.
Seeking to calm its deep, mournful woe.
Chains of my burdens, I drag along.
As my soul yearns for a spring song.
Now, shadows swirl as reality bends.
The nightmare of this torture ends.
Reality dissolves as twilight breaks.
Bringing forth a new dawn in its wake.
For our Father gifted us his son’s light.
To bring in his Power of Love and Life.
The burdens are gone that have shackled me.
Going through Psalm 23, I am refined and free.
