There Is This Girl

There is this girl that I once knew Who lied and stole and swore She wore Makeup to attract the men She dropped her pride upon the floor She hung around with those like her Who plied her with alcohol and weed She laughed and scorned at others Forgetting her own need She wore her laughter like a mask She was hurting deep inside She didn’t really like herself And had trampled on her pride But then one morning she awoke And knew she had to change She knelt down upon the floor It all felt rather strange She prayed to Jesus there and then She cried, her heart so raw She invited him into her life She couldn’t live like this anymore He offered her forgiveness and hope He knelt right by her side He healed her inner wounds Now she’s got dignity and pride He whispered that he loved her He gave her perfect peace And now she sings his praises And her heart has been released
