I've always loved to lend a helping hand
To be the one who answers every call
Folks told me I possessed a heart of gold
But I was running empty through it all
I fell down on my knees and bowed my head
And gave my heavy spirit to the Lord
ChorusHe healed my soul and washed the past away
He gave me strength I never knew I had
He raised me up to see a brighter day
And turned to joy the times that I was sad
Now I’m a stronger, more forgiving me
I celebrate this new life I receive
In Christ Jesus, I am finally free
Verse 2I look into the mirror at the grace
And see the woman that the Savior found
The old Myrna is gone without a trace
I'm walking now upon a holy ground
I’m grateful for the miracles He's done
And for the quiet battles He has won
ChorusHe healed my soul and washed the past away
He gave me strength I never knew I had
He raised me up to see a brighter day
And turned to joy the times that I was sad
Now I’m a stronger, more forgiving me
I celebrate this new life I receive
In Christ Jesus, I am finally free
BridgeNow when I reach for someone in the dark
It isn't only me, it is His light
He took the bitter edges from my heart
And taught me how to love and make things right
Final ChorusHe healed my soul and washed the past away
He gave me strength I never knew I had
He raised me up to see a brighter day
And turned to joy the times that I was sad
Now I’m a stronger, more forgiving me
I celebrate this new life I receive
In Christ Jesus, I am finally free
Yes, in Christ Jesus, I am finally free
