I’ve always been the strong one.
No matter what I’ve been through.
Kept walking forward
Even when I didn’t want to.
Been there for everyone else.
Put myself last.
Didn’t want to see others go through what I’ve been through
I made sure of that.
It got me taken for granted
To then get thrown away
Like I never existed
Now I find myself today
God, I reach for your healing
I hold onto what you say in your word
That you will never leave me or forsake me like others have.
You love me
You see me
You tell me I’m worthy
You’ll guide me
You’ll be my strength when I am down
Pick me up off the ground
God, please reach in and take the trauma
That has encased me in this stronghold
That’s held me back and kept me off track
God, you promised peace, joy, and prosperity
For those who love you
And God I trust you
I trust you
I find myself in this place
Afraid of taking up space
Afraid to trust those who claim to love me.
Feeling so unworthy
Unworthy and unwanted
Because that has been my past
Please unlock these chains that hold me
So I can be free
I want to be free
There’s true freedom in you
I reach for my healing
Please do a work in me
So I can be free
God, I reach for your healing
I hold onto what you say in your word
That you will never leave me or forsake me like others have.
You love me
You see me
You tell me I’m worthy
You’ll guide me
You’ll be my strength when I am down
Pick me up off the ground
God, please reach in and take the trauma
That has encased me in this stronghold
That’s held me back and kept me off track
God, you promised peace, joy, and prosperity
For those who love you
And God I trust you
I trust you
