Steps To Freedom

I was lost in the dark Drowning in my fight My reflection whispered You've lost your light Admitting defeat Was the hardest start But it opened the door To heal my heart Powerless I let the truth unfold A Higher Power Took the heavy load I turned my will To the hands above And searched my soul With fearless love Confession's weight It was hard to bear But I found release In the honest prayer I let the flaws And the shame unbind With each step forward I left behind I spoke my wrongs I faced my pain I asked for grace To start again I made my list Became prepared To mend the hearts For which I cared I spoke my wrongs I faced my pain I asked for grace To start again I made my list Became prepared To mend the hearts For which I cared Through trembling hands I made amends A healing tide Brought foes to friends Each day I walk With an open page Righting the wrongs One act of grace I gave my past A place to rest In every trial I seek my best Awake in spirit I share the flame To guide another Who knows my name Each step a stone Across the stream Toward a life that's more Than a dream Through pain and truth I found my part And in surrender I claimed my heart So here I stand A work in repair Each step a promise A whispered prayer The message lives The hope runs free Through these steps We find eternity
