Flinda

I was losing myself to the shadows, slipping away in the dark

Drowning my hope in the bottles, carrying a heavy heart

I tried to fight off your kindness, I pushed all your mercy away

But Flinda, you looked at my ruins, and somehow decided to stay

You didn't give up on a sinner, you stood by my side in the fray

You saw someone worth saving, when I had nothing to give

You reached out your hands in the valley, and somehow you helped me to live

I owe my whole life to the Savior, and the friend that He sent to my door

Twenty-five years of sobriety, and I'm not looking back anymore

Thank God for the grace that you showed me, Flinda, my friend evermore

You anchor your family in love, a shelter when bitter winds blow

Whenever a spirit is hurting, you're the first one to step up and go

You love with the heart of a servant, you never give up on your own

With open arms for the broken, you reap all the goodness you've sown

You showed me the face of the Father, when I was so lost and alone

You saw someone worth saving, when I had nothing to give

You reached out your hands in the valley, and somehow you helped me to live

I owe my whole life to the Savior, and the friend that He sent to my door

Twenty-five years of sobriety, and I'm not looking back anymore

Thank God for the grace that you showed me, Flinda, my friend evermore

I wouldn't be breathing this morning, I wouldn't be standing right here

If God hadn't used your compassion to conquer my darkest of fears

A quarter of a century sober, a miracle born from your faith

Heaven reached down through your spirit, and carried me into His grace

Cause you saw someone worth saving, when I had nothing to give

You reached out your hands in the valley, and somehow you helped me to live

I owe my whole life to the Savior, and the friend that He sent to my door

Twenty-five years of sobriety, and I'm not looking back anymore

Thank God for the grace that you showed me, Flinda, my friend evermore

Yes, I owe my life to His mercy, and Flinda, my friend evermore
