The shame of secret sins and hurts – v2

Words too long hidden, remaining silent,
trauma, anguish, stones carried alone,
in silence, yoked to a heavy burden,
pain so deep, overwhelming,
nowhere to run from our history…
 
The shame of secret sins and hurts,
but we are no different, truly,
everyone carries their own shit,
but not everyone is honest, open,
to release themselves of their power…
 
Now is the time, this moment, today,
to begin the process, to healing,
to stand in the gap together, honest,
leaning on our sisters on our brothers,
for a way out of our wilderness…
 
Our lives are in the balance, salvation,
for restoration, for healing, wholeness,
now is the time to begin again, today,
to reclaim our purpose, our calling,
to live our lives for God…
