Yesterday's Pain
The time has come for me to move on,
to let go of things I've held for so long
with a new day and time I've tried to forget,
all the pain in my life from people I've met
But time is the greatest healer I've heard in the past
That's how I know this pain won't last
I've climbed a mountain I've almost reached the top
it's a hard journey,but I'm not about to stop
My heart is healing with God's help I know
He keeps me strong wherever I go.
This yesterday's pain had a hold on me
so strong and so tight I could hardly see
The damage it done, my soul grew so weary
but I kept on climbing and now I see clearly
the lessons from God he wants me to learn
the lesson is that now it's my turn
to take this mountain and show it whose boss
to climb without stopping no matter the cost
It will not defeat me, there's too much at stake
to let this pain my life overtake
Thank you lord, for making me strong,
for being with me when others were gone
for carrying me when I couldn't walk
for being my voice when I couldn't talk
for being my eyes when I couldn't see
for taking my hand and leading me
for loaning me an angel when times were hard
for giving me the strength to make a new start
because yesterday's pain is about to die,
a horrible death without a soul to cry
so long my pain, you had a good run
to rip me,and ride me, now your time is done
