Melinda

I look at the shadows, the battles I fought

The heavy illusions in which I was caught

But I took a breath and I found a new way

Stepping right into the light of the day

I look in the mirror and finally see

The woman that I was created to be

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

Every heavy chain is broken, I am walking free

Melinda, you are standing on the other side

With faith as your anchor and grace as your guide

The road was so hard, but I finally see

I am not who I used to be

One day at a time, leaving ashes behind

Healing the spaces inside of my mind

There were moments I stumbled and moments I cried

But Heaven was walking right there by my side

The pages are turning, the story is new

Look at the mountains He carried me through

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

Every heavy chain is broken, I am walking free

Melinda, you are standing on the other side

With faith as your anchor and grace as your guide

The road was so hard, but I finally see

I am not who I used to be

The scars are just proof of the rescue inside

A testament to the long tears that I cried

Philippians four and thirteen in my heart

The old life is gone, it's a beautiful start

To walk in recovery, steady and bold

And let the next chapter of freedom unfold

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

Every heavy chain is broken, I am walking free

Melinda, you are standing on the other side

With faith as your anchor and grace as your guide

The road was so hard, but I finally see

Thank God, I am not who I used to be

No, I'm not who I used to be
