I Am Enough


I am a broken girl, sorry, I was a broken girl.

I was beaten down and pushed away,

Forced into a corner and left to break.

The walls, oh how they caved in around me

I drowned in the darkness, it closed her ugly hands around my throat

I couldn't keep my head above the waves. 

I am a broken heart, sorry, I was a broken heart.

I lay in bed as self pity took it's hold

Told myself I didn't belong in this world.

Drown my sorrows by taking pills,

Watched as my family broke down in tears.

I put up my walls, I built them so high.

No one could tear them down

Behind them I told myself I was all alone,

But You told me differently.

You told me I had hope and a future,

A love that no one could take away.

I watched as Your scarred hand reached into the darkness,

You grabbed me and pulled me to my feet.

I am a broken girl, sorry, I was a broken girl.

But You, my Savior, told me

I AM ENOUGH.
