HE FOUND HER CRYING ALL ALONE IN HER BED
AND HE FELT THE PAIN DEEP INSIDE HER HEART
AS SHE SAID...SHE WISHED SHE WERE DEAD
ONCE AGAIN HER WORLD HAD FALLEN APART

HER BODY JERKED AS SHE SOBBED UNCONTROLLABLY
SHE WAS BRUISED AND VIOLATED ONCE AGAIN
JESUS...WHY DOES THIS STUFF HAPPEN TO ME
I'M MUCH TOO YOUNG...I'M ONLY TEN

SHE POUNDED HER PILLOW WITH HER FISTS
AND ANGRILY SAID...I WISH I WAS NEVER BORN
IF I DIED I WOULD NEVER BE MISSED
EVEN THOUGH I'M THE FIRST KID BORN

JESUS, I LEARNED ABOUT YOU IN SUNDAY SCHOOL
THE BIBLE SAID YOU LOVE ALL LITTLE CHILDREN
AND BEING MEAN WAS AGAINST GOD'S RULE
SO WHEN IS THIS EVER GOING TO END

HER LITTLE HANDS WIPE HER TEARS AWAY
SHE TRIES TO THINK OF WHERE SHE COULD FLEE
MAYBE SHE SHOULD JUST RUN AWAY
CUZ' AT THE HOLIDAY INN KIDS STAY FOR FREE

SHE DRIFTS OFF TO SLEEP AND FINDS AN ESCAPE
IN HER DREAMS SHE CAN PRETEND ANYTHING
THAT SHE'S NOT A VICTIM OF CHILD ABUSE AND RAPE
AND SHE'S NOT ANYONE'S PLAYTHING

DREAMING, SHE SEES JESUS AND RUNS INTO HIS ARMS
THE ONLY PLACE SHE'S EVER FELT SAFE AND SECURE
WHERE PEOPLE CAN'T HURT HER AND CAUSE HER HARM
HANDS THAT WON'T EVER MOLEST HER

"MY CHILD, I HAVE SAVED UP ALL OF YOUR TEARS...
AND TURNED THEM INTO BEAUTIFUL PEARLS"
"BE STRONG BECAUSE YOU WILL PERSEVERE...
AND HELP MANY PEOPLE IN THIS PAINFUL WORLD"

"EVERY BAD THING THAT YOU WILL GO THROUGH...
WILL MAKE YOU STRONGER SO YOU CAN TESTIFY"
"YOUR PAST DOESN'T HAVE TO DEFINE YOU...
YOU'LL EMERGE A FREE AND BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY"

"SO SLEEP MY CHILD...AND I WILL HEAL THEE...
YOU'LL RECOVER EVERY TOLL THIS PAIN HAS COST"
"EACH TEAR IS A PEARL ON YOUR WISDOM TREE...
THAT YOU WILL USE TO HELP OTHERS WHO ARE LOST"

I AM A SURVIVOR!!!  I SPEAK OUT BECAUSE I REFUSE TO LET MY ABUSERS SCARE ME INTO SILENCE.  I WILL NOT LET THEM FURTHER ABUSE ME BY HOLDING ONTO THE SHAME THAT IS THEIRS...NOT MINE.

MY LORD, I KNEEL HERE AT YOUR FEET
BOWING MY HEAD IN UTTER DEFEAT
MY HEART FEELS LIKE IT'S IN A VICE
I SEEK YOU OUT FOR YOUR ADVICE

THO' MY EYES ARE SWOLLEN AND RED
I READ THE WORDS THAT YOU HAVE SAID
YOUR WORDS ARE A BALM TO MY HEART
YES, DEAR JESUS...HOW GREAT THOU ART

MY BODY IS WEARY AND READY TO COME HOME
WHERE I CAN FIND PEACE AND EVIL DON'T ROAM
I HAVE SUFFERED ENOUGH DEAR LORD
I'M READY TO BE FULLY RESTORED

A NEVER ENDING BATTLE IS COMING TO A CLOSE
THE TRUTH REVEALED BECAUSE HEAVEN KNOWS
THE LIES THAT HAVE BEEN TOLD ABOUT ME
WILL BE PUT TO REST WHEN YOU PARDON ME

OH, HOW THEIR EYES WILL BE OPENED
THEIR CATARACTS WILL NOW BE SHED
THEIR MOUTHS WILL GAPE IN SUCH SURPRISE
AND IT WILL BE TOO LATE TO APOLOGIZE

I'VE BLED FOR THOSE I LOVE TOO LONG
THE CRIPPLED SONGBIRD HAS SUNG IT'S LAST SONG
NO LONGER A PRISONER CONFNED IN A CAGE
FREE TO SING ON GOD'S GOLDEN STAGE

YOU BROKE MY WINGS SO I COULDN'T FLY
GAVE ME NO CHOICE BUT TO COMPLY
JESUS TOOK ME IN AND MENDED MY WINGS
THE ONCE CRIPPLED SONGBIRD NOW SINGS

I DON'T WANT TO LET LIFE PASS ME BY ANYMORE
WITH MY FACE PRESSED AGAINST THE WINDOWPANE
THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS I WANT TO EXPLORE
I WANT OUT OF THIS RUT...THIS LIFE SO MUNDANE

I FEEL THIS PRIMORDIAL NEED INSIDE OF ME
TO STEP OUTSIDE OF MY SELF-IMPOSED PRISON
I'M TIRED OF BEING TOLD HOW I "SHOULD" BE
LIFE'S PASSING ME BY... AND TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE

I'M FED UP WITH TRYING TO PLEASE EVERYONE
AND MAINTAINING THEIR SENSE OF DECORUM
LIVING YOUR LIFE FOR OTHERS IS NO FUN
I'M GOING TO MARCH TO THE TUNE OF MY OWN DRUM

THE NEW YEAR ARRIVED IN A SHINY NEW PACKAGE
WITH A BIG BOX WRAPPED IN GOLD AND A RED BOW
A NOTE WITH THE WORDS "THE WORLD IS YOUR STAGE"
SIGNED ONLY "BY SOMEONE WHO LOVES YOU SO"

I SHOOK THE BOX AND IT MADE NOT A SOUND
IT WAS ALL BUT EMPTY INSIDE EXCEPT ANOTHER NOTE
WHAT WAS THE MEANING OF THIS GIFT SO PROFOUND
THE NOTE SAID THESE WORDS AND I QUOTE

"MY CHILD, BEFORE YOU STANDS THIS BIG EMPTY BOX...
IT MAY SEEM LIKE, PERHAPS IT'S A JOKE;  BUT IT'S NOT."
"I WANT YOU TO GATHER UP ALL OF THE ROADBLOCKS...
THAT KEEP YOU FROM FULFILLING DREAMS YOU FORGOT."

"ALL OF THE THINGS YOU EVER WANTED TO PURSUE...
WERE WELL WITHIN YOUR REACH ALL ALONG."
"THE NAYSAYERS WERE REALLY QUITE ENVIOUS OF YOU...
THEIR LAUGHTER HURT YOU AND SILENCED YOUR SONG."

"YOU'VE BEEN AFRAID TO REALLY SUCCEED IN LIFE...
BECAUSE YOU'VE LET OTHERS KEEP YOU DOWN."
"THEY LOVE TO KEEP YOU TANGLED UP IN THEIR STRIFE."
"YOU'RE LETTING ALL OF YOUR DREAMS DROWN."

"FILL THIS BOX WITH THEIR NEGATIVE SNAPSHOTS...
ADD THE MENTAL TAPES OF THEIR VERBAL ABUSE."
"IT'S TIME TO GET RID OF ALL THEIR CHEAPSHOTS...
YOU'RE NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR THEM TO USE."

"CHILD, A SOFT HEART DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A HANDICAP...
WHEN IT'S SPENT ON THOSE WHO APPRECIATE YOU."
"OPEN UP YOUR DREAMS AND LET THEM ALL UNWRAP...
MAKE USE OF ALL THE GIFTS I'VE GIVEN TO YOU."

THE NOTE WAS SIMPLY SIGNED "JESUS"
WITH TEARS FALLING DOWN MY FACE I BEGAN THE TASK
TO UNLOAD MY TROUBLES FROM SORROW'S BUS
REMOVING THE ROADBLOCKS JUST AS JESUS ASKED

MALLORY WAS SO EXCITED BECAUSE SHE WAS HAVING A NEW YEARS EVE PARTY IN HER NEW HOUSE.  SHE WANTED EVERYTHING TO BE PERFECT.  SHE WAS PUTTING ON THE FINISHING TOUCHES, WHEN SHE REALIZED SHE FORGOT TO PICK UP THE MEAT AND CHEESE TRAYS FROM THE STORE.  SHE ASKED HER HUSBAND ANDY TO FINISH PUTTING OUT THE PARTY FAVORS WHILE SHE WAS GONE.  "OH, BY THE WAY MALLORY;  WHY NOT TAKE THE BABY OVER TO YOUR MOMS AND SAVE HER A TRIP.  YOU'RE GOING TO BE A COUPLE OF BLOCKS AWAY ANYWAY."  SO SHE GATHERED UP MCKENZIE AND PUT HER IN THE BABY SEAT AND WAS ON HER WAY.

MENTALLY SHE WAS TRING TO REMEMBER EVERYTHING SHE NEEDED TO DO.  SHE WANTED THIS NIGHT TO BE PERFECT.  SHE'D MADE HER GUESTS AGREE TO SPEND THE NIGHT AT HER HOUSE IF THEY DRANK TOO MUCH.  SHE LOVED HER FRIENDS AND DIDN'T WANT THEM TO HURT THEMSELVES OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER.  MALLORY WAS  AN ADVOCATE FOR THE MADD ORGANIZATION.  SO SHE'D MADE UP THE THREE EXTRA BEDROOMS AND BOUGHT AIR MATTRESSES ALSO.  SHE WAS GOING TO DO HER PART TO KEEP DRUNK DRIVERS OF OF THE STREET.

MCKENZIE WAS SUCH A GOOD BABY.  MALLORY GLANCED IN THE MIRROR AND SEEN HER BABY GIRL FAST ASLEEP.  HOW BLESSED MALLORY FELT.  IT WAS FIVE THIRTY AND ALREADY DARK.  THE PARTY STARTED AT EIGHT, SO SHE HAD ENOUGH TIME FOR THESE LAST MINUTE ERRANDS.  SHE TURNED ONTO THE MAIN HIGHWAY TO HEAD TO HER MOMS.  SHE'S DRIVEN THIS ROUTE FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.  PEOPLE STILL HAD THEIR CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTS UP AND SHE SMILED AT HOW CLEVER EACH DESIGN WAS.  THERE WAS A SANTA ON A HARLEY AT ONE HOUSE, AND A MANGER SCENE AT ANOTHER.  SHE LOVED THIS TIME OF YEAR.  LOOKING STRAIGHT AHEAD, SHE NOTICED A RED PICKUP TRUCK WITH IT'S HIGH BEAMS ON.  SHE FLASHED HER BRIGHTS HOPING THE DRIVER WOULD REALIZE HE HAD HIS BRIGHTS ON.  THESE NEW HALOGEN LIGHTS ARE BRIGHT ENOUGH ON THE REGULAR SETTING.  THE DRIVER DIDN'T DIM HIS LIGHTS AND HE WAS DRIVING ERRATIC.  SHE SLOWED DOWN BECAUSE HE WAS CROSSING OVER INTO HER LANE.  "HEY BUDDY, LOOK OUT.  WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?" SHE YELLED OUT.  AS IF THE DRIVER COULD HEAR HER, HE GOT BACK ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD.  HER HEART WAS BEATING FAST AS SHE THOUGHT "BOY, MCKENZIE AND I COULD HAVE BEEN HURT BAD."  SHE THANKED GOD FOR THE PROTECTION AND WENT ON HER WAY.  SHE GOT OFF THE EXIT RAMP TO GO TO HER PARENTS HOUSE.  JUST THREE BLOCKS AWAY AND MCKENZIE WOULD BE OFF THE ROADS FOR THE NIGHT.  SHE PULLS UP TO THE LIGHT AND STOPS, AS THE LIGHT IS RED.  THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN AND SHE LOOKS TO THE RIGHT TO MAKE SURE SHE CAN PROCEED.  OUT OF NOWHERE, SHE WAS HIT ON THE LEFT SIDE BY A CADILLAC ESCALADE.  THE SUV HIT HER SO FAST AND SPUN HER AROUND BEFORE LAUNCHING HER INTO A DITCH ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

MALLORY'S MIND IS BLURRY AND SHE HEARS HER BABY CRYING AS SHE COMES TO.  SHE HAS TO GET OUT OF HER SEAT BELT TO GET TO MCKENZIE.  SHE HADN'T EVEN REALIZED YET, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS EMBEDDED IN HER CHEST.  THE AIR BAG NEVER WENT OFF.  MCKENZIE'S CRIES WERE BECOMING SCREAMS NOW.  MALLORY TRIED TO GET OUT OF HER SEAT BELT AND GET TO HER DAUGHTER.  IN THE CONFUSION OF THE MOMENT, SHE DIDN'T REALIZE HER LEGS WERE CRUSHED.  SHE TRIED TO MOVE AND COULDN'T.  "OH MY GOD" MALLORY THOUGHT, "MCKENZIE AND I COULD DIE HERE ONLY A BLOCK AWAY FROM MY MOM AND DADS."  SHE KEPT TRYING TO NO AVAIL TO GET OUT OF HER PREDICAMENT TO GET TO HER BABY GIRL.  HER DAUGHTER NEEDED HER.  WHAT WAS SHE GOING TO DO?  WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO MCKENZIE?  WITH THAT LAST THOUGHT, SHE FELT HERSELF FADING AWAY INTO OBLIVION.  SHE WAS BEING DRAWN INTO THE ICY HANDS OF DARKNESS, AND HELPLESS TO STOP IT. 

FAINTLY, SHE COULD HEAR A POLICE SIREN GETTING CLOSER.  A CONCERNED CITIZEN WAS STROKING MALLORY'S HEAD AND TELLING HER "EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OK."  "WHERE IS MCKENZIE?  WHY CAN'T I HEAR HER?" MALLORY VOICED IN HER HEAD.   SHE COULDN'T PUT HER THOUGHTS INTO WORDS.  A POLICEMAN IDENTIFIES HIMSELF AND CALLS DISPATCH TO SEND THE JAWS OF LIFE.  HE ASKS THE GOOD SAMARITAN IF SHE SEEN WHAT HAPPENED.  SHE TELLS THE COP, "I DID.  THAT MOTHER OF PEARL CADILLAC ESCALADE OVER THERE HIT HER BECAUSE THEY RAN THE RED LIGHT."  OVER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD, TWO OFFICERS WERE QUESTIONING THE DRIVER AND HIS PASSENGERS ABOUT THE ACCIDENT.  HE ASKED FOR ID, AND NOTICED NONE OF THESE KIDS WERE OF LEGAL DRINKING AGE.  THE DRIVER WAS ASKED, "HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING?  I SMELL THE STRONG ODOR OF ALCOHOL ON YOU."  THE KID SAYS, "NO MAN.  YOU CAN'T PROVE I WAS DRINKING.  NO SIR."  THE OCCUPANTS OF THE ESCALADE HAD A FEW CUTS, BUT NOTHING SERIOUS.  THEY WERE ALL SO DRUNK, THEY COULDN'T FEEL A THING.  BACKUP ARRIVED AND ALL THE PASSENGERS WERE SEPARATED AND QUESTIONED AWAY FROM THE OTHERS.  ONE GIRL ASKED, "IS THE LADY OVER THERE ALL RIGHT?  HER CAR LOOKS REAL BAD."  THE COP SAID, "IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD YOUNG LADY.  THERE'S A BABY GIRL IN THE CAR TOO."  WITH THAT, THE YOUNG GIRL STARTED CRYING AND TOLD THE OFFICER THE TRUTH.  THEY HAD BEEN DRINKING AND SMOKING WEED ALL DAY.  THE DRIVER RASHAWN, HAD JUST BOUGHT HIS SUV AND WANTED TO SHOW IT OFF.  SHE TOLD THE COP "RASHAWN RAN THAT RED LIGHT AND HE WAS GOING FASTER THAN THE SPEED LIMIT."  SHE ALSO ADDED, "WE WERE YELLING AT HIM TO SLOW DOWN, BUT HE DIDN'T LISTEN."  "AM I GOING TO JAIL OFFICER?"  "YES MA'AM YOU ARE.  YOU ARE UNDER THE INFLUENCE AND A MINOR."  SHE WAS LED AWAY TO A SQUAD CAR.

THE DRIVER WAS DRUNK AND COCKY.  HE SAID "I WASN'T DRINKING, AND IF I HAD BEEN;  IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.  CALL MY MOMMA.  CALL HER RIGHT NOW!  YOU CAN'T TOUCH ME BECAUSE I'M ONLY SEVENTEEN."  RASHAWN WAS HANDCUFFED AND PUT IN THE BACK SEAT OF A SQUAD CAR.  HIS LIQUID COURAGE WAS WRITING CHECKS, HIS MOUTH COULDN'T CASH.  AFTER RASHAWN WAS SECURED, THE OFFICERS WALKED OVER TO THE OTHER CAR.  THE PARAMEDICS WERE WORKING ON THE MOTHER.  THE WHITE SHEET OVER THE BABY TOLD THE OFFICERS MORE THAN THEY WANTED TO KNOW.  THE MOTHER KEPT ASKING "WHERE'S MY BABY?  IS MCKENZIE OK?  PLEASE TELL ME SHE'S OK."  THE PARAMEDICS NODDED THEIR HEADS "NO" TO THE COPS.  THEY KNEW THIS WOMAN WAS HURT BADLY AND IN SHOCK;  AND THEY DIDN'T WANT TO UPSET HER ANYMORE.  A WOMAN COP SAID "MALLORY, YOUR BABY IS IN SAFE HANDS.  SHE'S NOT HURTING AT ALL.  WE'RE TAKING HER TO THE HOSPITAL AND YOU CAN SEE HER LATER. OK?"  MALLORY SAID "OK."

A BLUE MINIVAN CAME SCREECHING UP TO THE SCENE.  AN OLDER MAN AND WOMAN GOT OUT AND CAME RUNNING UP TO THE ACCIDENT SCENE.  "THIS IS OUR DAUGHTERS CAR.  WHERE IS SHE AND HER BABY?  WHERE'S OUR DAUGHTER AND GRANDDAUGHTER?"  THE POLICEMAN DROPPED HIS HEAD.  HE HATED THIS PART OF THE JOB.  FINALLY, THE OFFICER SPOKE.  "YOU'RE DAUGHTER WAS IN AN ACCIDENT.  A CADILLAC ESCALADE RAN THE RED LIGHT AND PLOWED RIGHT INTO HER.  THE DRIVER IS UNDER AGE AND DRUNK.  HIS PASSENGERS ARE ALSO DRUNK."  THE WOMAN ASKED, "WHERE IS THE AMBULANCE?  WHERE IS OUR DAUGHTER?"  THE OFFICER SAID, "I'M SO SORRY TO HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS, BUT YOUR GRANDDAUGHTER WAS DEAD AT THE SCENE, AND YOUR DAUGHTER JUST DIED EN ROUTE TO THE HOSPITAL."  THE WOMAN STARTED SCREAMING "NO.   NO.  GOD, THIS CAN'T BE TRUE.  I DON'T BELIEVE IT.  GOD, NO."  THE OLDER MAN SAID "WHERE IS THIS PUNK WHO KILLED MY DAUGHTER AND GRANDDAUGHTER.  I WANT TO GET MY HANDS ON HIM."  "SIR, HE'S ALREADY IN JAIL WITH THE PASSENGERS.  HE WON'T BE OUT ON THE STREETS ANY MORE TONIGHT."

THE NEW YEAR RANG IN AT MALLORY'S HOUSE, WITH HER FRIENDS CRYING AND HUGGING EACH OTHER OUT OF GRIEF.  MALLORY'S HUSBAND AND HER MOM AND DAD, WERE AT THE FUNERAL HOME PICKING OUT A CASKET.  A YOUNG MOTHER AND HER BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL WERE KILLED BECAUSE OF ANOTHER DRUNK DRIVER WHO THOUGHT THEY COULD HANDLE THEIR LIQUOR.

DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!!!  MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A SOBER DESIGNATED DRIVER.  TOO MANY LIVES HAVE BEEN LOST DUE TO DRUNK DRIVERS.

IN LIFE'S STORMS, YOU ARE MY SAFE HARBOR
MY FAITHFUL AND CONSTANT COMPANION
YOU'RE MY STRENGTH, WHEN I CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE
YOU'RE MY VERY SPECIAL ADVOCATE FROM HEAVEN

MY HEART LOVES TO PRAISE AND WORSHIP YOU
FOR YOU ARE SO VERY WORTHY OF ACCLAIM
YOU'VE COMPLETELY CHANGED MY POINT OF VIEW
AND TAKEN AWAY MY GUILT AND SHAME

YOU'VE TRANSFORMED A FRIGHTENED HEART
AND A BODY SCARRED FROM BEING ABUSED
A LIFE THAT WAS SO BATTERED AND TORN APART
YOU'VE HEALED EVERY WOUND, THAT WAS BRUISED

YOU'VE WIPED AWAY ALL MY TEARS AND MY SORROW
EVERYTHING THAT WAS TAKEN, IS BEING RESTORED
I FINALLY REALIZE WHO HOLDS TOMORROW
MY LIFE IS NOW FREE FROM CHAOS AND DISCORD

YOU'RE THE SON OF GOD AND I MAGNIFY YOUR NAME
I'M A WITNESS OF YOUR GRACE, LOVE AND MERCY
LET US ALL STAND UP AND BOLDLY PROCLAIM
THAT BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB...WE ARE FREE

FAITH...CANNOT BE SEEN
YOU CAN'T HOLD IT IN YOUR HAND
FOR IT IS THE BOND BETWEEN
THE LORD THY GOD AND MAN

FAITH...IS ROOTED DEEP
IN THE SOIL OF OUR HEART
WHAT WE SOW WE SHALL REAP
BE SURE TO PLANT SMART

FAITH...IS THE ETERNAL SPRING
FROM WHERE LOVE ABUNDANTLY FLOWS
FROM THE CROSS OF MY KING
WHERE LOVE CONTINUALLY GROWS

FAITH...IS A PEACEFUL STATE OF MIND
KNOWING THAT ALL IS IN GOD'S HANDS
NOT ALLOWING THE ENEMY TO UNDERMINE
THE BLESSINGS GIVEN BY GOD'S COMMAND

FAITH...IS BELIEVING WHAT THE EYE CANNOT SEE
IT'S BLIND TRUST BETWEEN GOD AND MANKIND
MY HEART IS CONNECTED DEEPLY TO HE
I KNOW HE WILL NOT LEAVE ME BEHIND

FAITH...IS THE SEED FROM WHENCE TRUST GROWS
IT NURTURES THE HEART LEARNING TO LOVE AGAIN
LIKE A PRECIOUS, NEWLY BUDDED ROSE
DARING TO BLOOM AGAIN

HEAVENLY FATHER...THIS I PLEA
OPEN MY EYES SO I MAY SEE
THE GOOD YOU SEE IN EVERYONE
EVEN WHEN I THINK THERE'S NONE

HEAVENLY FATHER...OPEN MY EARS
SO I MAY HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR
NOT JUST WHAT I WANT TO HEAR
BUT ALL THAT YOU WOULD HAVE ME HEAR

HEAVENLY FATHER...RESTRAIN MY TONGUE
WHEN MY TEMPER JUMPS THE GUN
TEACH ME TO SPEAK WORDS THAT ARE KIND
AND TO BE SILENT WHEN I'D SPEAK WORDS UNKIND

HEAVENLY FATHER...REMOVE THE SCARS FROM MY MIND
TAKE AWAY ALL THE HURT AND PAIN LEFT BEHIND
SHOW ME SOMETHING GOOD IN EVERYONE
FINISH THE WORK IN ME THAT YOU'VE BEGUN

HEAVENLY FATHER...REMOVE EVERY STAIN
EVERY WOUND LEFT, THAT'S STILL CAUSING PAIN
HEAL THIS BODY THAT'S BEEN BADLY ABUSED
RESTORE ME FATHER...AND MAKE ME LIKE NEW
