Charity

I used to carry the weight of the room

A friendly face trying to clear out the gloom

Bending and breaking to please everyone else

I was my own worst enemy, fighting myself

I dragged the shadows of my guilt and my shame

Until Your mercy finally rewrote my name

Oh, my soul, remember to remember

The grace that pulled you from the dark

When I surrender, I can finally see

You washed the heavy history right out of me

Trust in the Lord, let the old fears fall

All is well, He is holding it all

I walked the edge where the valley ran deep

A near-death moment waking me from my sleep

It changed my life in the blink of an eye

And cut the truth right through the middle of the lie

Now I am breathing in a second chance

Adaptable and willing to join in the dance

Oh, my soul, remember to remember

The grace that pulled you from the dark

When I surrender, I can finally see

You washed the heavy history right out of me

Trust in the Lord, let the old fears fall

All is well, He is holding it all

Charity, look how resilient you are

A persistent spirit who has traveled so far

With a wise, open mind and an empathy deep

You have a beautiful promise to keep

Take your creative and understanding heart

A sense of humor when the hard days start

And let the Maker finish what He begins

This is the place where the healing wins

So, my soul, remember to remember

The love that pulled you from the dark

When I surrender, I can finally see

You washed the heavy history right out of me

Trust in God, let the old fears fall

All is well, He is holding it all

Yes, all is well, He is holding it all
