Alive Again

Alive Again

I was dead

And dying

I was broken

From trying.

Awoke in the night

Turned out the light

And found myself alone.

My husband asleep beside me

My thoughts alone to guide me

How the demons creep as the mind seeps

Into a world unknown

The night it took me in

And brought me to my sin.

My life was not my own

Oh, how darkness surrounds

And quickly drowns.

The hopeless life within

But when I was dead

And dying

A part of me was still crying

To find some hope again

Wondered out into the night

The stars trickled in light

And there I stood alone

Ready to give into the night

But you whispered your light

And my drowned body was pulled to shore

When I was dead

And dying

I was broken

From trying

Your light pulled me in

I was like a rag doll limp from sin

But you rescued me again

And breathed your life within

And one dead and dying

Was brought back to life without trying

I feel alive again

There’s light in me again

And I have never been alone.
