My Rescue
{Written by, Candice Landis, 04/23/2014}
Once Broken And Battered, Torn Apart
I Carried Nothing But Darkness Inside My Heart
I Was Filled With Contempt For Everyone And Everything
Striking Out At Others Before They Struck Me Was My Idea Of Surviving
Always Thinking Negative Thoughts, Always Judging
Even At People I Passed On The Street I Was Very Begrudging
How Dare They Look Happy , How Dare They Have Peace
My Head Full Of My Angry Voices Recorded From My Past, Set On Repeat
Every Day I Listened To That Tape And Every Day I Accepted Defeat
Until One Day I Gave Up Control And Collapsed At Jesus Feet
I Don't Know If You Can Hear Me I Cried , But I Need Your Help
I Can't Do This Anymore , Not All By Myself
The Lord Then Reached Down And Helped Me To My Feet
I Had Never Before Felt So Loved, So Special , So Sweet
His Love Poured Into Me From Deep With In
Gently Encouraging Me To Let Go And Follow Him
That Was Over Two Years Ago And I Am No Longer Immersed In Shame And Regret
I'm Living With Peace In My Heart, I No Longer See Others As A Threat
I' Have Love And Compassion For My Fellow Man
In Judgement Of Others I No Longer Rush To Stand
All Because I Finally Reached Out And Took My Saviors Hand
His Love Has Opened My Eyes To The Promised Land
No Longer In Darkness Lost And Alone Do I Try To Stand
I'm Basking In My Saviors Love And Protection, The Great I Am
