Once battered and broken
Licking my wounds
Now redeemed and reborn
Attuned and in bloom.
Once hungry and seeking
Groping for more
Now complete satisfaction
Fulfillment restored.
Once inadequate and striving
Working for love
Now value and worth
Fits like a glove
Rebellious and wild
My banner of pride
Now gladness
And submission cannot be denied
Once sad and depressed
Wanting to die
Now contentment and peace
My new kind of high
Hopeless and tired
With no end in sight
Now assured and revived
My light burning bright
Once used and abused
Tossed to the side
Now treasured and nurtured
Wholly Justified
Once rejected and alone
Struggling within
Now sought for eternal fellowship
What a triumphant win
Once dead in my sins
Now alive in His grace
His love allows me
To feel His embrace
