Like a Phoenix – v2

Lost, in our miry clay
the ashes, the dust of our sin,
trapped in situations, lack of trust,
harmed by those who should love,
neglected, abused, mistreated,
pulled this way and that,
hurt deepest by family, by blood
now we are set apart…
 
Oh, let this be a time of healing,
of walking anew, with You,
let God rest hands upon you,
lifting you up, flying,
like a phoenix, alight,
from the fire, the ashes,
rising in love, to new heights,
new hope, in arms of Love…
