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.
