LYRIC FOR SALE

By Jessica Nicole

I showed up battered and bruised,
A smile on my face,
Singing Amazing grace,
but I didnt feel it.

I came in broken, confused,
A walkin’ disgrace,
painful commonplace,
But you didn’t see it.

You didn’t cause it
And you didn’t know it
But I’d been through it.
He sent you to heal it.

And you showed up,
When he said get out.
And you stepped up,
Before my flame could burnout…
You saved my faith,
You gave me hope,
With no place to go,
You welcomed me in

And you went to work,
To heal what he hurt
When tossed to the side
You stood beside me

Though you didnt cause it
And you didnt know it
And I’d been through it
But you came to heal it,

I came in broken.
But I stand here healin’
A smile on my face,
Singing Amazing Grace,
Now I can feel it.
It was never my fault.
And because of you
I can stand tall,
My bruises are healing
And that sinking feelin’
The pain I’ve been concealin’
I one day, maybe, can lay
to rest.
