I strife

Hey, yes I strife, 

To reach out from the other side,

If my words speak to you 

You\'ll understand that there true. 

I lived a life that\'s bent 

Taken to hell and back again, 

But the thing I say to you 

His love comes through. 

First made me loathe myself, 

Then realised it was heaven sent.

All the things He said are true,

He can make us brand new. 

Free to live our life in Him,

Under the protection of His wing,

Where we engage the world anew,

Where He takes pleasure in you.

To live the life He gave

Free from curse and grave.

To show a new and living way 

Once found, never stray.
