Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time in her mind so far away Lived a girl lost through the night, who had drifted astray She cried herself to sleep, with dreams of brighter days When laughter filled her life, and hope lit up her way But now she walks with her head held down Her heart heavy, her soul feels bound She cried, God, help me, I can't fight alone I'm lost in the dark, I need a way home Break these chains, lift me from this fall I surrender all to You, help me stand tall In the silence, His love poured through And she knew she'd rise, He'd make her new Wandering the streets, her world was cold and bare No place to call her own, just shadows everywhere One desperate night, she fell to her knees Looked up to the stars and whispered, God, help me, please Her heart that once was filled with pain Now reached out for love again She cried, God, help me, I can't fight alone I'm lost in the dark, I need a way home Break these chains, lift me from this fall I surrender all to You, help me stand tall In the silence, His love poured through And she knew she'd rise, He'd make Her new I can't do this on my own, she prayed I've reached out for love again She cried, God help me, I can't fight alone I'm lost in the dark, I need a way home Break these chains, lift me from this fall I surrender all to You, help me stand tall In the silence, His love poured through And she knew she'd rise, He'd make her new I can't do this on my own, she prayed I'm powerless, but I'm ready to obey Guide me, Lord, show me Your plan I give You my heart, take my hand With every tear, she felt His grace Lifting her from her darkest place She cried, God, help me, I can't fight alone I'm lost in the dark, I need a way home Break these chains, lift me from this fall I surrender all to You, help me stand tall In the silence, His love poured through And she knew she'd rise, He'd make her new Now she walks with her head held high No longer lost, no longer asking why Through faith, her soul was finally free She found her way, and God held the key No more darkness, no more fear With God beside her, everything's clear She's standing tall, no longer weak Through His love, she found the strength she seeks Once upon a time, she found her way Through faith, through love, she learned to pray Now her heart is free, and her future bright With God by her side, she walks in light God, You saved me, I'm no longer alone You brought me through the storm, now I'm home You broke these chains, lifting me from the fall I stand in Your grace, and You made me tall With every step, His love will carry her through And in His arms, she's been made new.
