Healing

My heart so callused
hard as a rock
to hide the pain
I lose the key to the lock
But you came in
and took the pain away
You broke the rock-hard covering
as my heart healed day to day
I was afraid, at first,
of the harm people could bring
but you assured me
in you it wouldn’t mean a thing
so my heart healed anew
and trust was slowly built
but the devil threw
prods of pain and guilt
but with you at my side
hand in hand
I did not fall down
I took a stand
The devil tried so hard
to break my heart and win
but with God on my side
I didn’t fall into sin
now as I travel
throughout each day
you gave me strength
to follow your ways!
