Some of you will know that I went through a very difficult and painful time around about this time last year. Well, recently I've pondering about that time and mulling over the emotional and spiritual experience trying to express some of what went on. These are fresh lyrics that have been circling in my mind for some time, brewing and stirring and waiting for the right time to be poured out into the right structure. This is 'Here in the Shadows'.
Here in the shadows surrounded by those who abuse me;
Broken and beaten and bleeding to death on the floor.
Around me stand shadows and figures of those who accuse me.
I’m looking to heaven for help and I’m crying out Lord.
I come to You,
Broken, bruised and bleeding,
Bearing the scars of a broken heart.
Your open arms are healing.
You are my hope and You are the One who defends me.
You heal my wounds and wipe every tear I shed dry.
You I can trust and You are the One who befriends me.
I know I’m safer with You, than ever before.
I come to You,
Broken, bruised and bleeding,
Bearing the scars of a broken heart.
Your open arms are healing.
And You quiet my soul,
And You sing over me,
A love song of hope,
That You’ve placed within me.
