Coleen

I walked the edge of the shadow

I looked at death face to face

Lost to the drugs and the darkness

I was buried in that place

For most of my life I was heavy

Held by the chains for so long

But even when I was broken

Lord, You were writing my song

Oh, I have a God who loves me

Who pulls me from the brink

Whatever life throws against me

I am stronger than I think

I bounce back from the ashes

With a faith that will not yield

I am a testament of mercy

I am Coleen, and I am healed

Thirty years clean and in freedom

Thirty years walking in light

I proved my heart could be loyal

After the longest of nights

I faced the end of my story

More times than I can count

But You carried me through the valley

Every time the sorrow would mount

Oh, I have a God who loves me

Who pulls me from the brink

Whatever life throws against me

I am stronger than I think

I bounce back from the ashes

With a faith that will not yield

I am a testament of mercy

I am Coleen, and I am healed

I am resilient, I am standing here today

You carried me through when I lost my way

Death tried to claim me, but You said "No"

Your grace is the only truth I know

Oh, I have a God who loves me

Who pulls me from the brink

Whatever life throws against me

I am stronger than I think

I bounce back from the ashes

With a faith that will not yield

I am a testament of mercy

I am Coleen, and I am healed
