Shadows Fade, Love Awakens

[Intro]
Silent shadows, heavy hearts, scars that hide the pain
Waiting for that call, a hope that falls like rain
Years of darkness, built from lies, now I see the truth
Healing has begun, forgiveness the proof

[Verse 1]
Ten years of anger, rejection's bitter taste
Lost in the memories, a cruel, unseen race
Family's shadows whispered, don’t call her again
Yet inside a secret, a silent, aching pain

[Pre-Chorus]
Truth uncovered, a lie that wore a mask
Her life stolen suddenly, behind the tragic cask
Hate was my fortress, but now I understand
Forgiveness is the only reason I can stand

[Chorus]
I hated the pain, hated the fear
But love’s the answer, crystal clear
Evil tried to drown my soul
Jesus’ love has made me whole

[Bridge]
Now I see her in the stars, she’s alive in the light
Broken chains are falling, I’m stepping into right
Hate is fading, love is rising, healing from within
With Jesus as my warrior, I will begin again

[Outro]
Waiting no more, I’ve found my peace
Her memory’s a blessing, my pain will cease
Rejection turns to grace, my heart will mend
One day I’ll see her, in love that never ends
