In darkness, I wandered, lost and alone
My heart heavy with shame, my soul turned to stone
But then I heard a whisper, a gentle, loving tone
"Arise, my child, and come back home"

God's arms opened wide, a refuge from the night
A beacon of hope, shining with all His light
He lifted me up, from the ashes of my past
And washed away my sins, forever to last

With tender touch, He healed my broken heart
And freed me from the chains that tore me apart
He spoke words of love, and calmed my troubled mind
And in His eyes, I saw a love so divine

Through His redemption, I found my way back home
To a place of peace, where love forever roams
My heart now beats with purpose, my soul revived
In God's redemption, I am alive

No longer bound by guilt, no longer shamed
I stand redeemed, with a heart that's not tamed
God's love has set me free, and I am made new
In His redemption, my story's rewritten anew.
