Abuse

When a girl is abused
     Hold me, stay away
Do YOU love me?
 
Moments of happiness
     Fleeting joy
Ever-ending in pain
 
I was rattling my chains
     Pulling against the beast
That held me tight
 
Crying "LORD
     ...save me"
I can't save myself
 
If depression was a train
     I was on a runaway
Where did it end?
 
I'm not free yet
     But I can be
I can be whole again
 
As a newborn child
     Learning "yes" and "no"
I discover life
 
There's a man by my side
     He holds my hand
Fully God, but fully man
     He holds the keys
To the chains at my feet
