I spent all my days

Praising God in many ways

I know His love is real

Something I can’t conceal

I searched for something true

After all I’ve been through

God made my purpose clear

I know there’s nothing to fear

I’ve been scorned

Had my heart torn

I’ve felt ashamed

I’ve been defamed

I’ve gotten lost

Not knowing the cost

I’ve searched for a journey

Made for me only

Until God set my path

Without unleashing His wrath

I’ve fallen then risen again

Knowing faith helped me win

I’ve longed to heal my soul

For something to make me whole

My story will be told

Cause I have a hand to hold

I couldn’t smile

Until I prayed for a while

I sat still

As I accepted God’s will

I felt my beating heart

Show me where to start

I looked for moments of pleasure

To enjoy beyond measure

I used to roam

Until God gave me a home

I wondered about purpose

Until I saw it lying at the surface

I learned to stand

While holding God’s hand

I learned how to live

I learned how to give

I learned how to love

Just like heaven above

I found a chapter

To fill with joy and laughter

I had some doubt

That things would work out

My story will be told

Cause I have a hand to hold
