Leah

The city streets were freezing, I was lost out in the night

Chicago winds were blowing, I was blinded to the light

Caught up in addiction, I was homeless and alone

But my mother's love reached down and wouldn't let me go

She helped me pack my pieces for an Arkansas start

And Jesus took the heavy burdens off my weary heart

Hallelujah, the chains are broken now

I’m a new creature in Christ, at the altar I bow

I can do all things through the One who gives me strength

He rescued me from ruin, He went to every length

My God supplies my needs from His riches and His glory

He called Leah by name, and He rewrote my story

Then Keith walked in the picture, we were both in need of grace

My mother stood beside us, helped us find a healing place

We walked into First Church of Batesville, hand in hand

Felt the Holy Spirit moving, finally given room to stand

Now there’s a fire burning, a passion in my soul

The Lord stepped in the ashes and He made my spirit whole

Hallelujah, the chains are broken now

I’m a new creature in Christ, at the altar I bow

I can do all things through the One who gives me strength

He rescued me from ruin, He went to every length

My God supplies my needs from His riches and His glory

He called Leah by name, and He rewrote my story

No longer bound by the streets, no longer tied to the pain

Every drug, every demon surrendered to His name

I am on fire for Jesus, completely set free

From the darkness of the city to the light He gave to me

Hallelujah, the chains are broken now

I’m a new creature in Christ, at the altar I bow

I can do all things through the One who gives me strength

He rescued me from ruin, He went to every length

My God supplies my needs from His riches and His glory

He called Leah by name, and He rewrote my story
