Luvina

I have walked through deep, dark valleys where the shadows hid the sun

Through domestic violence and trauma, when I felt my life was done

From the rape and molestation, all the heavy scars I bear

I looked up from the ashes, and the Lord was waiting there

I’m a hopeful, surviving fighter, though my spirit has been tried

With a tender, funny nature, and my Savior by my side

For He knows the plans He has for me, to give me hope and peace

When the daily fight with Lupus makes me pray for sweet release

I can do all things through Jesus, He’s the strength I lean upon

He will never, ever leave me when the hardest days are long

Sometimes I feel unworthy of the grace from up above

But He looks right at Luvina, and He holds me in His love

When the stroke tried hard to take me, and to steal away my voice

I just leaned upon the Father, and I made my soul rejoice

Psalm thirty-seven, verse four, is a promise I hold tight

I delight in my Creator, and He fills my heart with light

I'm a patient, loving woman, I am God-fearing and wise

Seeing every new tomorrow as a blessing in His eyes

For He knows the plans He has for me, to give me hope and peace

When the daily fight with Lupus makes me pray for sweet release

I can do all things through Jesus, He’s the strength I lean upon

He will never, ever leave me when the hardest days are long

Sometimes I feel unworthy of the grace from up above

But He looks right at Luvina, and He holds me in His love

I was broken, I was battered, but I never was destroyed

Every tear I cried in sorrow, He is turning into joy

Philippians four-thirteen is the truth that gets me through

I don't have to earn His mercy, for His promises are true

He will never, ever forsake me, He will never turn away

He's the reason I keep fighting, He's the reason I can pray

For He knows the plans He has for me, to give me hope and peace

When the daily fight with Lupus makes me pray for sweet release

I can do all things through Jesus, He’s the strength I lean upon

He will never, ever leave me when the hardest days are long

Though I feel I don't deserve it, I am covered by His blood

Yes, He looks right at Luvina, and He holds me in His love
