The Weight of my own Chain

I’ve walked the road where shadows fell,
My conscience burned—a private hell.
Each tear became a seed of truth,
Each step restored my broken youth.

The nights were long with heavy dreams,
Of pain that birthed its silent screams.
But grace reached down, and peace drew near,
God’s tender love erased my fear.

I wore the weight of my own chain,
And faced the cost of all my pain.
But lessons rose to light my way,
And taught my heart to grow each day.

Once lost in rage, now calm and clear,
I see through truth, not blinding fear.
The scars remain to mark my way,
They guide me not to go astray.

I hurt myself, I hurt mankind,
But tears and time renewed my mind.
I found His Word—my healing start,
Forgiveness bloomed within my heart.

I wore the weight of my own chain,
And faced the cost of all my pain.
But lessons rose to light my way,
And taught my heart to grow each day.

The walls I built became my cage,
A quiet cell of fear and rage.
But cracks of light revealed the start,
And freedom grew inside my heart.

It’s not the fall that shapes our way,
But how we rise and what we say.
Each trial we face refines what’s true,
And grows the strength we never knew.

I wore the weight of my own chain,
And faced the cost of all my pain.
But lessons rose to light my way,
And taught my heart to grow each day.

Each heart I meet, each tear I see,
Reminds me who I’m meant to be.
To lift with love, to guide, to stay,
And walk with mercy all the way.

So now I help to light the way.
I wore the weight of my own chain,
And faced the cost of all my pain.
But lessons rose to light my way,
And taught my heart to grow each day.

Let life go on—rewrite your story,
Find peace ahead, not lost regret’s territory.
You’re not your past—the pain’s away,
Don’t look behind; you’re not that way.

I wore the weight of my own chain,
And faced the cost of all my pain.
But lessons rose to light my way,
And taught my heart to grow each day.
I wore the weight of my own chain,
And faced the cost of all my pain.
But lessons rose to light my way,
And taught my heart to grow each day.
And taught my heart to grow each day.
