[Intro]
Oh, dear Lord, I kneel and I plea,
In the shadows, where no one can see.
Echoes of the pain, they whisper and cry,
In this broken heart, beneath the sky.
[Verse 1]
You blessed my days with light, I know,
But in the dark, I felt so low.
A love that bruised, yet I stayed near,
Where was the strength? Where was the cheer?
[Pre-Chorus]
In the silence, I screamed for aid,
In chains of fear, my dreams delayed.
Three shadows haunted, they took their toll,
And somehow, I was robbed of my soul.
[Chorus]
Why, dear Lord, didn’t you send an angel?
To pull me from this hurt, to break the handle?
A heart in chains, running from the beast,
Lord, give me courage, grant my heart release.
[Verse 2]
A year and a half, I fought the night,
With tears like rain, I sought a light.
The scars may fade but the marks remain,
In every heartbeat, I feel the pain.
[Pre-Chorus]
I wondered why it couldn’t end,
Why hope was just a fleeting friend.
Lost in darkness, my spirit torn,
Where was the blessing in all this scorn?
[Chorus]
Why, dear Lord, didn’t you send an angel?
To pull me from this hurt, to break the handle?
A heart in chains, running from the beast,
Lord, give me courage, grant my heart release.
[Bridge]
But in the ashes, I found a spark,
With every bruise, I learned to mark,
For every moment I thought I’d break,
There rose a strength that I would make.
[Chorus]
Why, dear Lord, didn’t you send an angel?
To pull me from this hurt, to break the handle?
Now I stand, reclaiming what’s mine,
Through the darkest night, I will shine.
[Outro]
So here I rise, from a year of fright,
With faith in my heart, I’ll embrace the light.
Dear Lord, thank you for teaching me this,
In every scar, I’ll find my bliss.
