Strong

I was betrayed and lonely
For many years it's true
I got very angry
But then I turned to you. 

Two years in the wilderness
I had lost my faith
Caught up in silly games
Reduced me to a wraith. 

Then I prayed for guidance
And God did answer me
Now the angers gone
And I strive for liberty. 

To those who felt my anger
I offer many prayers
I ask them to forgive me
For I know God cares. 

I have forgiven them for 
All they did to me
Even though its really bad
A total travesty. 

Try to see the reason
That I became this way
My life was made a misery
Each and every day. 

I wasn't strong enough then
To cope with all the lies
But now thanks to God himself
I am a lot more wise. 

Don't lose your faith like I did
Keep praying all the time
And then you might just end up
Living life sublime.
