Washed Clean

Was swimming in suicide Lost inside my lies Holding back everything Not knowing why I would cry tears of pain Trying to hide all my shame Running from the rain But I was drowning anyway. Writing these words Seemed to provide A way to express The storm raging deep inside But heavy was my heart With all My burdens My soul was tired I was ready to give in Just wanted to close my eyes And go to sleep Cause with the darkness Came a small amount of peace And yet the confinement of my chains Kept me in the dark I was locked inside the prison Of my own sad heart Why this torment Why me All I wanted was to be free Why would nobody save me All I wanted to do was scream But all that came out were obscenities Until the day- I saw the light And He came and offered serenity Let the world lift off my shoulders Let it seep out through my tears Let me breath in a new kid of freedom And let the old stuff just disappear With His love and mercy And His Holy light Now my battles Became His fight I was made whole again Forgive of my sins For He is my protector And I live through Him. I've have been saved I've have been redeemed Because through Him I was washed clean.
