After the night of depression

a new friendship was born

After the blade drew another line across your arm

your dreams were reborn

after flirting with the lie of suicide

an honest love began to dawn

you were pulled to your feet

by the scarred hands of your Jesus

then you were sent out into the city of the helpless

with hope, a sacred diamond

your new purpose for living is to help the broken find rest

as you go, a strange spring creeps into your step

as you walk away from your winter

you feel the light, the song of your lover

and the Spirit flowing through your soul

as a Holy wildfire spreads across the horizon

consuming the darkness that only left you cold

the sun blinds you to the temptation of the world, renewing your vision

freeing you to live out loud and bold

you would never go back, even if you could
